According to Baseball Predictions specialists at SBGglobal.com, the Boston Red Sox [-109 ML] have the odds in favor to win tonight’s series opener against AL East foes, Tampa Bay Rays [-101 ML].
The Red Sox will be looking for a long outing from today’s starter, RHP Josh Beckett (2-1, 6.00 ERA), as he goes up against the Tampa Bay’s ace, RHP Matt Garza (1-2, 4.97 ERA). The OVER/UNDER for this Boston Red Sox vs. Tampa Bay Rays Baseball Predictions has been set at a combined total of 9 runs.
The last time these teams met was at Fenway Park as they kicked off the 2009 regular season with a rematch of last year’s ALCS. That series didn't go well for the Red Sox, as they allowed the Rays to come into Fenway and win two out of three.
It’s going to be important for the Sox to have Beckett go deep into this game, after a series against Cleveland, which taxed their bullpen. "We should be OK," Red Sox manager Terry Francona said of his bullpen. "And we've got Beckett pitching."
