If you're going to get the Boston Red Sox, it may be more likely that your best chance will be now. The Red Sox have solid pitching at the top of the rotation, but become suspect deeper into it. The bats are not clicking yet but they will at some point come to life. Jordan Zimmermann was a fast starter last season as he was 5-0 in April with a microscopic 0.55 ERA, and was named AL Pitcher of the Month for April. The jury is still out on Eduardo Rodriguez, Boston's starter, as he is .500 over his brief career, pitching on a winning team. The Red Sox let one get away in the opener with their bullpen yielding a pair of eighth inning runs, so they may be emotionally flat here after blowing a win. The Tigers have edge on the hill, and some mojo at home. Make the play on Detroit.
