Best bets: 2023 Red Sox World Series odds, win total and more

GoErie
 

After a disappointing last-place finish (78-84) in the AL East last season, the Boston Red Sox will look to make a bid once again for the playoffs after a quiet offseason.

One addition of note was adding free-agent RHP Corey Kluber as their No. 2 starting pitcher on a 1-year deal. The Red Sox also added OF Masataka Yoshida, a 2-time batting champ in Japan, to a 5-year, $90-million deal. Plus, Boston re-signed 3B Rafael Devers to a 10-year, $331-million deal.

While these moves will help the Sox, this is not expected to be a banner season for Boston, and fans are not happy at the moment. With 3 World Series titles since 2004, the fans expect more, which hasn't been the case in recent seasons.

What's in store for 2023? Let's analyze the Boston Red Sox World Series odds, along with their projected win total, playoff, division and AL odds as we make our expert MLB picks and predictions.
