Red Sox Pitching Staff Underrated Amid Poor Start

With the Red Sox off to a 12-19 start, the team is last in the AL East and ranked 25th in runs per game and 21st in ERA. However, the pitching staff’s true performance improves to a 3.85 ERA—moving them to ninth—once Brayan Bello’s 9.12 ERA is removed. Bello, who had a 3.35 ERA last year, is expected to rebound, while injuries to key starters have left the club short on proven pitching. The staff’s underrated potential remains a bright spot amid a poor season. esporist.com
