Tampa Bay at Boston

One has to wonder if there is anything emotionally left in the tank for Tampa Bay in game one vs. the Red Sox. This is a team that needed a win in Toronto in the season finale, they then had a play down at Texas, and another one in Cleveland, and now they head to Boston. This will be four games on the road in four different cities in six days - a first for an MLB team. Boston made a huge turnaround after stubbing their toe a year ago. The Red Sox logged an AL best 97 wins. It may have not been the best year for Jon Lester, but he finished like a champion. In his last 10 starts he allowed 3 runs or less in 9 of the 10, and his best work on the season has been at Fenway Park where he closed at 7-1. Tampa Bay is not in their best role, as they are 7-20 in their last 27 games as a dog from +110 to +150. Boston has come up aces as home chalk where they are 40-14 in their last 54. Play on Boston.
