The 2010 Baseball Predictions Boston Red Sox AL East MLB Betting Odds to win the 2010 World Series are at +650 on the money line at SPORTSBETTING.COM.

Offense: Boston has a nice little offense but with the decline of DH David Ortiz’s power numbers they lack punch in the middle of the lineup. The team still has excellent hitters in Dustin Pedroia, Victor Martinez and Kevin Youkilis but this season they will have to manufacture runs more than in years past.  New athletic additions like Adrian Beltre and Mike Cameron should help the Red Sox play better small ball but overall this offense is good and not great. The 2010 Baseball Predictions  Boston Red Sox AL East MLB Betting Odds to win the A.L pennant is at +300 on the money line.

Pitching: Last season the Boston Red Sox lack of depth in the staring rotation really hurt them. With the addition of Lackey this rotation now has depth and our MLB picks staff rates them as one of best starting staffs in the MLB. The bullpen is solid but middle relief is only slightly above-average. Closer Jonathan Papelbon still has to be considered a top-5 MLB closer but his down 2009 season is concerning.

Bench/Coaching: The bench is solid and deep but they are a little long in the tooth. The team will have to adjust to a new small ball style of offense but the character of the ‘Sox is strong. The Boston coaching staff are proven winners with two World Series championships.
