Result:
LOSS

What a difference a year makes. The Boston Red Sox won it all last season, and with a similar cast of characters they thought they were ready for a repeat. Things just didn't go well, and the Red Sox emptied the house before the trade deadline and have taken long looks at some talented young players for their future. Tampa Bay fell way out of it in June, rallied back, but fell apart late. Clay Buchholz may anchor a revamped rotation next year, and has pitched a lot better of late in turning in six of his last eight starts of allowing 3 runs or fewer. Alex Cobb has pitched well, but not well enough to survive the weak attack of the Rays as he is just 1-4 in his last five starts, and Tampa is 0-4 in his last four starts on the road. The Rays are also 1-5 in his last six starts vs. the Red Sox, so take Boston.
