The pressure has to be mounting on the Boston Red Sox. They were expected to cruise to the AL pennant, but here they are opening the season at 0-5. That pressure will be present until they put one in the win column. Until they do especially well on the road as a big chalk, there is value going on the other side. Lester was hit hard in his 2011 debut, and last season the Sox were just 3-4 in his first seven road starts. Fausto Carmona was lit up in the opener, but has the stuff to get it done here vs. the Sox. Boston has now dropped eight straight on the road going back to last season. Cleveland takes this one.
