Boston at Detroit

Boston's offense has surged since a slow April start, now second in the league in runs scored, tops in on-base percentage, and sixth in slugging. The Red Sox are on a 25-9 run on the road, 58-18 against a team with a winning percentage below .400, and 81-34 versus a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30. The Red Sox are also 35-17 when David Price takes the mound, and he faces a struggling Detroit squad today that is 12-31 at home, and on a 3-17 slide overall. The offense is last in runs scored and on-base percentage and #29 in slugging. Starter Gregory Soto (8.06 ERA) is terrible, and the Tigers are 19-62 versus winning teams. Play Boston.
