Baseball unlike the other big sports is a long, long season and while you don’t want to get off to a horrendous start, but the first week will mean little in the grand scheme of things. While the Boston Red Sox have come out of the gate slow for the second straight year, the 1-5 record is not the end of the world. Make no mistake, the Red Sox have issues that must be addressed but the point is no need to hit the panic button yet.
Here is a quick look at each team and how they have done vs. the money over the first week of the season. If you bet the Red Sox every game you are down $434 while if you wagered on the Rays every game you are +$367.
