Boston at Seattle

Boston has started slowly, but has been playing at a much higher level lately, and with last night's series opening win they have now won four of their last five. Shane Victorino loves hitting against Seattle pitching and delivered a game-winning blast last night, and is now 14-27 in his last six games vs. Mariners pitching. Clay Buchholz has pitched deep into games, but has a 10.29 ERA in the first inning, and he still possesses a lot more upside that his mound counterpart J.A. Happ, who has a not so healthy 4.60 career ERA vs. Boston. The Red Sox own a 40-19 mark behind Buchholz when he is on a regular four days of rest in his last 59. The M's have failed to deliver as home chalk from -110 to -150 in recent games at 2-7 in their last nine. Take Boston tonight.
