Boston at Tampa Bay

The Tampa Bay Rays are the hottest team in baseball as they were left for dead back in June when they owned the worst record in baseball. They have come all the way back to get back in the AL wildcard race. Boston has struggled all season with an offense that has not been able to get big hits. The saving grace to their season has been the pitching of Jon Lackey. Lackey is 11-6 on the season, and the Sox have won six of his last eight starts. Jeremy Hellickson is being recalled from AAA after elbow surgery, and he owns a 4.21 lifetime ERA vs. Boston. Lackey has allowed just two runs in 15 innings vs. Tampa this season, and Lackey is 11-4 in his last 15 division starts. Make the play on Boston.
