Tampa Bay at Boston

The Rays are just four behind in the loss column, so these games become doubly important. Boston comes limping home after dropping three of four in Baltimore. Alfredo Aceves has been awful the last two seasons, and was even demoted to Pawtucket for awhile this season, as he has struggled to a 5.58 ERA. The Rays have not fared well on the road where they are under .500 for the season, but there has been a much better outcome when facing a right hander on the road, where they are an impressive 10-4 in their last 14. The Red Sox are a miserable 1-5 in Aceves' last six home starts, and Boston is 21-43 in their last 64 vs. a winning team. Play on Tampa Bay in Game One.
