This season the Rays are 13-6 at home and the Red Sox are 9-6 on the road.
The Rays have won 5 in a row, but those wins came against the Toronto Blue Jays and San Diego Padres and both teams are well under .500.
Boston swept Tampa Bay earlier this season at home.
In their last 14 games the Rays’ offense, which ranks 8th in the Majors in runs, has averaged 6.4 runs per game.
John Lackey (1-3 2.82 ERA) goes for the Red Sox tonight and he had a good outing in his last one giving up only 1 earned run in 7 innings of work, but got no run support and took the loss facing the Minnesota Twins.
Matt Moore (6-0 2.14 ERA) has pitched great all season and in his last start he gave up 2 earned runs in 5 innings in a win over the Toronto Blue Jays.

Lackey is 12-6 against the Rays but only 3-5 with a 7.27 ERA in the last 8 games facing them.
Moore was 0-2 with a 6.57 ERA in 2 starts against Boston last season. His offense is really helping him out this season, as he has been given 7.07 runs of support per 9 innings, which is one of the best in the Majors.
In some betting trends for this AL East match up the Red Sox are 1-5 in their last 6 games, 3-7 in Lackey’s last 10 starts, and they have an Under record of 4-0 in their last 4 road games.
The Rays are 20-7 in their last 27 home games, 9-0 in Moore’s last 9 starts, and they have an Over record of 6-1 in their last 7 home games.
In the last 6 games between these 2 teams in Tampa Bay the total has gone Over 5 times.
Jason’s Pick: I think the Rays will keep up their hot play and their streaking offense will get to Lackey early and often. Tampa Bay will win their 6th straight tonight at home.
