Things certainly haven't gone as planned for the Red Sox early on, but a team that was expected to have a shot at winning 100 games still may get there. They are to talented to continue on the early path, especially at Fenway. Clay Buchholz, off a stellar 2010 campaign, is finding his way once again with a 2.61 ERA in his last five starts. Phil Coke, a longtime bullpen pitcher, looked good in a starting role, but hitters are catching up to him now and the Tigers have faced the consequences at 1-4 in his last five starts. The Sox are now 21-6 when Buchholz pitches in rotation on four days rest. The Tigers are just 16-35 last 51 here. I like Boston on the runline for the big win.
