I don't always love historical stats saying that a team can or can't do something. At the end of the day, with how crazy sports are nowadays, anything is truly possible. If a team gets hot or cold at the right or wrong moment, anything can happen.
That's why teams like the Boston Red Sox are probably still relatively hopeful that they can turn this thing around.
However, because of how poorly the Red Sox have played to start this season, now 31-45, history would suggest that they'll have more losses after 81 games than any playoff team in Major League Baseball history.
“At 31-44, the Red Sox are just about cooked — historically speaking, at least. Not that you need to tell anyone in New England as much: They've been abandoning ship on this team for weeks now, if not months.
“Unless Boston starts a new winning streak, they'll almost certainly have more losses after 81 games than any playoff team the league has ever seen. As if owning one of the worst offenses in baseball or the Garrett Crochet and Roman Anthony injuries weren't evidence enough, this is looking like a rebuilding year at Fenway,” Chris Landers wrote.
It's almost crazy to think that the Red Sox have been this bad at 31-45 and 14.5 games out in the American League East, but this is the reality of the situation now. This is a team that had a chance to be very good, but unfortunately, has arguably been the most disappointing in Major League Baseball.
Not to say that things can't change in the future, but history suggests that the Red Sox have no chance of making the postseason.
