The 2019 Major League Baseball season finally is here — can you believe it?
The Boston Red Sox will begin their World Series title defense Thursday night when they visit the Seattle Mariners in Game 1 of 162. Alex Cora’s team enters the season as a legitimate favorite, albeit one with no shortage of question marks.
