Very early voting in our latest
FenwayNation Poll shows that most readers see Toronto and Texas as the major post-season threat to the
2016 Carmine Hose. As the chart shows, 31% choose the Blue Jays as the chief roadblock for Boston, followed by the Texas Rangers at 26%.
The Bronx Embalmers (13%) are considered the third biggest problem for
John Farrell and the boys, while
Tito Francona's Cleveland Indians are viewed as the fourth-most severe threat—coming in at 11%. Tonight's opponent—the Baltimore Orioles—are seen as a big problem in the post-season by just 7% of our readers. The 2015 World Series Champion Kansas City Royals are not seen as much of an issue by readers—with only 6% choosing them. The Detroit Tigers—who Boston famously beat on their
last romp to a title in 2013—garner only 4% of responses. The Mariners only pull 2% and
nobody seems fearful of the Houston Astros. You can still vote in the poll
