Red Sox’s Start Ranks Worst Among Recent World Series Champions
The Boston Red Sox have gotten off to a historically bad start to the 2019 season after winning the World Series last October.
Boston is just 6-12, and 7 1/2 games out of first place in the American League East. And the start is the worst among the last six World Series champs through 18 games. In fact, this is the worst start to a season by a defending champ since the 1998 then-Florida Marlins.
It’s not the first time the Red Sox have fallen victim to the World Series hangover, as the 2014 team went on to finish dead last in the division after its 2013 title.
