Boston at Tampa Bay

Boston will be happy to get the services of Clay Buchholz back, as he opened the season at 9-0. He will square off against another heavyweight in David Price. The difference is not found on the mound in this matchup, it is found in the offense. Boston has the bats on fire right now, as they have scored 73 runs in their last nine games, or over 8 per contest. Tampa Bay has really gone ice cold on offense, where they have topped the 4-run mark just two times in their last 16 games, and have plated 3 or less in 10 of their last 15. Boston has been delivering against left-handed pitching where they are a perfect 8-0 in their last eight against them. The BoSox own a 29-11 record behind Buchholz when he starts game 1 of a series, and the Rays' dormant bats have led them to five straight losses vs. a winning team. Play on Boston.
