The Red Sox have been pretty strong as of late, winning eight of their last 10 games while putting up three runs or more in all 10 contests. Tampa is on a surprising run right now, winning six of its last seven while scoring at least eight runs in five of those games. The total has been set pretty low due to some decent pitching, but Price has an ERA over 4.00 for the season and Snell’s numbers are over a limited number of innings. Look for the hitting to continue.
