The Boston Red Sox are in the midst of a two-year postseason drought, which is a feat they’ll look to snap when the club takes the field Thursday in Seattle in a season-opening four-game series.
This season, Boston will look to fire up its Massachusetts sports betting fans by climbing out of the cellar of the American League East after finishing last in each of the last two years. They also finished last in the AL East in 2014 and 2015.
The Red Sox World Series odds enter 2024 at +3000 on ESPN BET, with the operator pinning Boston’s AL odds at +2500, good for ninth out of 15 teams.

Fans Can’t Wait for Patriots' Day
The top promos for Sox fans this year were Patriots' Day, Pride Night and Tacos & Tequila Fest, with all three netting 25% of responses, while Noah Kahan Night (15%) and Harry Potter Day (10%) also made the cut.
Boston’s celebration of the city’s Marathon on April 15 is a point of civic pride each spring, which explains the event’s popularity among fans of the team. Pride Night on June 11 presents an opportunity for the team’s fans to connect in a unique way.
Tacos & Tequila Fest on April 27 is an event that includes four different tacos and a host of specialty cocktails ahead of the team’s game against the Chicago Cubs. Noah Kahan Night honors the Strafford, Vermont, native with a commemorative bobblehead.
Rounding out the special nights is Harry Potter Night, which is April 13 against the L.A. Angels, with a giveaway of crewneck sweaters themed after the book-turned-movie’s “houses,” with Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin all featured.
