It's April 6th, I'm Corey with the story, and this is Boston Red Sox News, today your AI Power team report. Boston Red Sox kicking off the season with just two wins and seven losses, sitting at a minus 15 run differential after nine games. That's got the fan base split right down the middle. Some saying, hold tight, it's way too early to panic while others are already bearing the team. Stats guru Justin Havens dug into the numbers, and in the wildcard era, 57 teams started this bad, or worse. Only three of them even sniffed the postseason, and zero hoisted the World Series trophy. Fans are all over the map on this one. Plenty are preaching patience since there are still 150 plus games left, but the panic crew sees doom and gloom, especially with AL, East, loaded with snumping squads by the Yankees and Orioles. History paints a grim picture here. These slow starters rarely bounce back big. Other models still peg Boston with decent playoff odds, but that might be wishful thinking

after this hold they're in. Red Sox got to flip the switch now, with real urgency, or this rough patch could sink the whole ship before summer even hits.
