Red Sox
All I can say is the Red Sox have the #1 record in baseball going into today at 14-2. Think about that number. 14-2. Now I know Johnson has been lights out at 6-2 this year with an ERA of 1.89 but he gets beat today. First of all, the Red Sox are just too hot right now and they have a pitcher going in Lester who is 3-0 beating the Braves, the Nationals and the Mets holding them each to 1, 1 and 2 runs respectively. Today is just a matter of a hot Red Sox team showing Johnson just how average he can be. Believe me, the Red Sox have beaten better in this 14-2 streak and they will beat Johnson today. All Red Sox and Lester tonight.
Braves
Ramirez has been solid at home. His home era is 1.66. You add the fact that Benson has a road era of just over 5.00 and you can see a Braves home win. Ramirez comes off perhaps his best performance of the year shutting out the Mets over 8 innings in Shea. He will be on the money again today. All Braves.
Mariners
What a comeback by the M's after trailing the Rockies 7-2. They scored 2 runs in 3 consecutive innings to get the win last night and now I just feel Washburn is too good at home. Washburn is 3-3 at home and he will step up big here. I know Jennings has been lights out but he runs cold here. I like the way the Mariners match up with him offensively and they will get another big win here as they stay hot at home here and make it 2 in a row.
