Tampa Bay at Boston

Jon Lester has come up big pitching in Boston during his entire career. The Tampa Bay Rays have completely fallen out of the race in the AL East. They do have a good pitching option for game one with James Shields going, but his numbers in this spot have been horrible. The Rays are 1-14 on the road with Shields on the hill when facing a team with a winning percentage of 55% or higher after May (making sure it is a legit winning team). Overall, the Rays are just 13-27 on the road in Shield's last 40 starts as a road dog. Lester has certainly been a stopper for Boston as he is 31-14 pitching after a Sox loss. Your game one selection is on Boston in this one.
