In 2019, the Boston Red Sox lineup was among the top in the majors in just about every category, but they didn’t even sniff the playoffs.

Starting pitching was awful for the Red Sox this year. Chris Sale looked like a shell of himself after receiving a five year, $145 million extension before the season began.
