When asked how many victories the Boston Red Sox will amass during the 60-game regular season, the majority of voters did not pick a win total, but believe the Major League Baseball season will not finish due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.

Thirty-six-point-four percent of voters chose the "baseball season will not finish" option, while 27.3 percent believe the Red Sox will finish the regular season with 20-25 wins. Twenty-two-point-seven believe the team's win total will be in the 26-to-30 range, while 13.6 percent chose 35 or more victories.

As of Aug. 8, Boston is 5-9 with 46 games to play, and sits fifth in the American League East standings behind the New York Yankees (10-5), Baltimore Orioles (7-7), Tampa Bay Rays (7-8) and Toronto Blue Jays (5-7).

Now, the sports staff turns its attention to the high school fall sports season in the Pine Tree State, and asks: Do you believe there will be a fall sports season played in Maine?
