Boston seems to have gone out of focus after beating the Yankees in a three-game sweep. They really don't have any purpose right now, except to set their rotation for the playoffs, and keep everyone healthy. The Birds used to have all kinds of problems vs. Boston, but as they have improved their team, they have dramatically changed the results. Baltimore owns a dominating 26-12 mark in their last 38 against Boston, and have made their presence felt at Fenway, not only in this series, but to a 14-5 mark in their last 19 here. Chris Tillman has 16 wins on the season. He will face what looks to be a tiring Jon Lackey, who missed all of last season. He owns just a 5.74 ERA in his last four starts, surrendering at least 3 runs in all of them. Play on Baltimore.
