Re-Tooled Red Sox Rising on MLB Betting Lines

After a horrendous end to the2011 season, the Boston Red Sox have picked themselves up, dusted off, and are ready to take on the MLB betting lines with many new faces and a new personality.

Get all your MLB futures at Bovada's online sportsbook. Don't have a Bovada account? Join NOW.

The Boston Red Sox began 2011 with a 2-10 record, and finished it by going 7-20 in September. They'll hope that the team that went 81-42 in between is the one that shows up in 2012, as that .659 winning percentage would have been the best in baseball - and good for 107 wins.

Injuries decimated Boston last year, with Josh Beckett, Erik Bedard, David Ortiz, John Lackey, Bobby Jenks, Adrian Gonzalez and others all spending time on the DL.

Gone are the likes of Jonathan Papelbon, Jed Lowrie and Josh Reddick. Even Terry Francona and Theo Epstein have moved on. In come Bobby Valentine, Mark Melancon, Andrew Bailey and Ryan Sweeney. There's a significant change in the atmosphere in Beantown, and it looks like it's for the better.

With 10/1 MLB futures, the Red Sox are only behind the Phillies (11/2), Yankees (13/2), Angels (7/1) and Tigers (8/1) on that list. With a second wild card team added for 2012, their chance of avoiding their 2011 fate becomes that much better. Bet on MLB now.

Armed and Ready. Bet on all the MLB action at Bovada.
