Everyone Loves A Contest #27: 2022 Red Sox W-L Record

With the 2022 Red Sox season set to begin Thursday, April 7, against the MFY in New York, it's time for the annual Red Sox W-L Contest!

The person who correctly guesses the Red Sox's 2022 regular season W-L record will win a hard cover copy of Mitchell Nathanson's Bouton: The Life of a Baseball Original, an excellent biography of the iconoclastic and outspoken pitcher and author of Ball Four.

Contest entries must be emailed to me and include the following two predictions:
1. 2022 W-L Record
2. Tiebreaker: Jackie Bradley's batting average
(2020: Bradley bats a career-high .283 for the Red Sox.
2021: Bradley bats a career-worst .163 for the Brewers.
2022: Bradley bats . . .)

As always, the winning W-L prediction must be exact. The tiebreaker, if needed, will be the closest guess, either over or under.

Deadline: Wednesday, April 6, 11:59 PM ET.

Good luck . . . and don't forget: Yankees suck!

  2. We need a contest for how many people won't read the directions and will leave their entries in comments, DQing themselves.

  3. Should you specify it's a 162-game season in the post, for people who know the season is delayed but don't realize the missed games will be made up?

  4. Really? People don't know it's a full season?
