- Boston has the lowest win total (77.5) in the AL East after winning 78 games last year.
- Netflix will be filming a documentary of the Red Sox during the 2024 season.
Netflix has decided to make a documentary about this yearโs Boston Red Sox, a peculiar choice if the purpose is to attract non-baseball fans.
Sure, the Red Sox have plenty of history, and Fenway Park is one of the best sports venues. But Boston is coming off back-to-back fifth-place finishes in the American League East, and 2024 projects to be much of the same based on Major League Baseball odds.
Will the Red Sox deliver a surprise season for Netflix in 2024?
Red Sox Futures Odds
Win Total: 77.5
AL East: +2000
AL Pennant: +3000
World Series: +6600
Things wouldnโt be as bad as they seem if the Red Sox played in any other division, and these odds help indicate that.
Bostonโs preseason win total is down from its 78.5 mark last year when it won 78 games. The Red Sox have only had four preseason win totals below 80 since 1990, one of which came during the COVID-shortened season in 2020.
- 1997: 78 (78 wins)
- 2020: 31.5 (24 wins)
- 2023: 78.5 (78 wins)
Red Sox Offseason Moves
Craig Breslow, a former pitcher who won two World Series rings with the Red Sox, became the Chief Baseball Officer for Boston in late October. He didn’t do too much in his first offseason.

More players left than arrived in Boston this offseason, which could be fine if itโs all part of the long-term plan.
After signing a two-year deal in the winter, Lucas Giolito was Boston’s main addition. But he recently underwent a season-ending elbow injury, which caused the Red Sox’s win total to drop two games.
Tyler OโNeill spent all six seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals, where he only had one year with more than 96 games played.
Closer Kenley Jansen appears to be one of the leagueโs most likely trade candidates and could help the Red Sox prepare for the future.
Red Sox 2024 Betting Prediction
Prediction: Red Sox to finish fifth in AL East (-115)
Perhaps the Red Sox will surprise for Netflix, but that’s not the most-likely outcome.
They are -115 to finish fifth in the AL East for the third year in a row. No other team in the division is better than +260.
After a slow offseason, the Red Sox have indicated they don’t think they can compete with a loaded AL East.
PECOTA has Boston finishing eight games behind Baltimore for fourth, while FanGraphs projects the Red Sox to end up four game behind the Blue Jays.
In an extremely competitive division where anything can happen, Boston finishing fifth might be the only safe MLB betting pick to make.
