The Red Sox have won the 2017 World Series. So many times.
PredictionMachine.com simulated the 2017 MLB regular season and playoffs 50,000 times as part of its season preview, with the Red Sox winning it all in 15.5 percent of the simulations. They made the playoffs in 87.5 percent of them.
The only team with a higher percentage in either category was the defending World Series champion Cubs, who made the playoffs in 95 percent of the simulations and won the World Series in 19.5 percent of them.
The simulation did not indicate how many times John Farrell was fired.
