(MLB) Boston vs. Detroit,
Money Line: 108.00 Boston (Away)
Result: Loss
Play: Boston Red Sox
Rating: 8*

The red hot Boston Red Sox are winners of six straight and they have they'll come in rested as yesterday's 8-1 win at Baltimore was wrapped up after six innings due to rain.

Clay Buchholz (4-9, 5.66 ERA) takes the ball for Boston today. While he's having a rough season, Bucholz is 2-1 with a 3.54 ERA in 10 career outings against Detroit, including eight starts. He'll be encouraged by the fact that the Tiger have scored one run or fewer in six of their past 10 games (2-8 record).

Left-hander Matt Boyd (4-2, 4.16) takes the ball for Detroit. He failed to record an out while giving up seven runs and six hits in his lone previous meeting with the Red Sox last year. Boyd has pitched well lately, but the Red Sox should be able to get to the 25 year old once again.

Red Sox are 5-1 in their last six games vs. a left-handed starter and 13-3 in their last 16 during Game 1 of a series. Red Sox are 7-1 in Buchholz's last eight starts vs. Tigers.
