Boston at Tampa Bay

Boston's offense has gone ice cold scoring 15 runs in eight games, on a 2-6 slide. Tampa Bay routed them yesterday, 16-1. Walker Buehler (5.74 ERA) has had one road start allowing 4 runs in 4+ innings at Texas. The Red Sox bullpen has a 4.20 ERA ranking 19th. Sloppy fielding plagued Boston last season (29th in fielding percentage) and they're last in fielding percentage this season. Tampa Bay is 8-5 at home and ranked 11th in the majors in runs scored, sixth in on-base percentage, and sixth in slugging. Ryan Pepiot (3.38 ERA) has been very good and the Rays play their eighth consecutive home contest. Play Tampa Bay.
