Following a rollercoaster 2020 regular season, the Boston Red Sox are now focused on 2021. Although they only played 60 games this year, next season is scheduled to have the standard 162 games. We are still unsure of how the team will look on opening day, however, we do know who the Sox will be facing.

The Red Sox will face a wide variety of teams this season. If they want to be back in the playoffs next October, it will be important to play well against the Rays and Yankees, two 2020 playoff teams.

Although the season will not start until April 1st, the Red Sox are already focused on turning things around in 2021. After the World Series, we can expect the Red Sox to hire a manager within the coming weeks. Some potential candidates for the manager position are Jason Varitek, Matt Quatraro, and potentially former skipper Alex Cora.

A long offseason is ahead of us, but now that we know the schedule for next year, we know what to expect for the next season in terms of matchups. Only time will tell how the Red Sox will look on opening day against Baltimore.
