The defending MLB Champion Boston Red Sox have gotten off to a rugged start, but they have worked their way back to the .500 mark this season. Clay Buchholz was part of the problem, but like Boston, he has been much better in his last two appearances - both quality starts. Yu Darvish is always a handful, but is still seeking his first win at home this season, and Boston got to him a year ago where Darvish posted a 5.93 ERA against Boston in two starts. It may not look like it, but Buchholz has the edge on the hill for this one against the Rangers. The Texas roster has a collective .116 batting average against him in 69 at bats. This looks like a live dog here, so take Boston.
