Will the Boston Red Sox make it to the playoffs this season?
The baseball analytics web site FanGraphs does not like the tean;s chances. The web site's 2021 Major League Baseball projections give the Red Sox a 33.2 percent chance of making the playoffs, meaning they think there is a more than two-in-three chance that they don't make it. Additionally, the site gives the Red Sox a 1.5 percent chance of winning the World Series. That's far lower than the 18.1 percent chance the site gives the New York Yankees.
The United States Senate confirmed former Rhode Island governor Gina Raimondo for her role as the U.S. Commerce Secretary under President Joe Biden 84-15, so she resigned her office as governor of the state to take that role. Her replacement is Democrat Dan McKee, who had served as the state's lieutenant governor since 2015. McKee is set to serve out the final 22 months of Raimondo's term.
