Boston at Oakland

The Boston Red Sox have skidded offensively over their last six games, where they have managed to plate a grand total of 11 runs, or less than 2 per contest. The good news is that scoring fewer than 2 runs per game would normally lead to an 0-6 record, but Boston is getting great pitching from the rotation and pen, and have actually been 3-3. That is likely to change tonight as they go against Brad Mills. Mills was claimed for $1 dollar from the Milwaukee Brewers, and has had absolutely no success at the big league level. Mills has made 15 appearances (10 starts), and has pitched to a 7.56 ERA. Doubront has pitched well on the road where Boston is 7-1 in his last eight road starts. The A's may have the best record in baseball, but Mills will give them a mulligan tonight. Take the road dog Red Sox.
