Between Sunday 4 April 2010 and Sunday 29 August 2010, the Boston Red Sox played one hundred thirty-one games – winning seventy-four and losing fifty-seven.

The hypothesis is that when the Boston Red Sox have double digit hits (ten or more) in a game, the team is likely to win the game. When the Boston Red Sox have single digit hits (zero to nine) in a game, the team is likely to lose the game.

Red Sox wins when hitting in double digits = 45
Red Sox losses when hitting in double digits = 16
Total number of games = 61
Red Sox won 73.77% of the games when hitting in double digits

Red Sox wins when hitting in single digits = 29
