Detroit and Boston are both teams who have underperformed expectations this year, but both of them are still in the playoff hunt. The Red Sox lineup is finally getting healthy, and the Tigers are starting to get some better performances from the starting rotation.
The Red Sox are looking for a 4-game sweep with a win tonight and even though they are still in the basement of the AL East they are only 2.5 games out if first place.
The 2012 MLB regular season is off to a somewhat unpredictable start with a few underdogs blazing a trail in their division while a few favorites continue lag behind the leaders. This has made handicapping the games more of a challenge, but we have been up to the task.
The Red Sox look to go above .500 for the first time this season with a win tonight, but that is far from easy facing reigning Cy Young winner Justin Verlander.
