Pittsburgh at Boston

Premium Pick

The Boston Red Sox will surely miss the bat of Big Papi in the middle of the lineup, but don't feel sorry for them, the Sox have a multitude of young emerging talent, and the addition of Chris Sale pitching for a winning team will be interesting as Sale is certainly likely to achieve 20 wins here if he stays healthy. Sale is a great arm in the rotation, and while he would be a #1 elsewhere, he will open the season #2 here. Pittsburgh has struggled playing in AL Parks where they are a woeful 37-66 in their last 103 games and have scored just seven runs in three games at Fenway. Boston has the goods this season and look to be a team that can go all the way, and Fenway will be loud for the opener. Make the play on Boston.
