Cleveland at Boston

Boston has lots of problems right now. Bobby Valentine is already wearing out his welcome, and has thrown Kevin Youkilis under the bus. Boston sits at No. 29 out of 30 teams in pitching. Their bullpen is also a mess at No. 21 and have already blown five saves in just 12 tries. Clay Buchholz at the top of the rotation problem is that he carries no confidence, and a king-size 9.09 ERA into this one vs. Cleveland who pounded Josh Beckett for 7 runs and an early exit last night. It left Boston with no answers for their 4-11 mark at Fenway this year. The Tribe is sizzling to an MLB best 10-3 mark on the road, and have won 8 of their last 9 vs. right-hand pitching, while against right-handers Boston is now 2-14 in their last 16. Play on Cleveland.
