Boston won their L2 to raise their record to 33-33. Injuries have hurt the Red Sox, but they are starting to hit the ball these days. Their offense ranks in the top 10 in RPG (averaging 5.00), Team BA (.267), OPS (.764), and HRs (74). Ortiz leads the team with a .311 BA, a .598 Slugging %, 75 hits, 16 HRs, and 43 RBIs. The Sox pitchers have come alive. Over their L11 games, they’ve only yielded more than 4 runs just once. Clay Buchholz starts today. The RH is 7-2 overall, 4-1 at home, 3-0 his L3 starts, and got a win against Miami, June 12th. He faces a Marlins squad that lost 10 of their L12, never topping 4 runs in a game. They average a dismal 3.62 RPG on a .237 Team BA. They lack consistency and power. Today, Mark Buehrle goes to the bump. The LH is 5-7 overall, 2-4 on the road, winless in his L3 starts, and just took a loss by Boston last week. The Marlins are 2-6 their L8 games played vs. the Red Sox, 2-7 their L9 games following a loss, and 17-40 their L57 games played as a ‘dog of 110-150. The Red Sox are 5-2 their L7 games played vs. LH starters, 92-42 their L134 Interleague games, and 4-0 in Buchholz L4 Interleague starts. Take Boston. Thank you. -Joe D’Amico.
