Tim Wakefield (R) vs Vicente Padilla (R)
Boston expects to build on last game's 7-3 win against the Rangers Tuesday and they entrust Tim Wakefield to get the job done when they battle the Rangers at Ameriquest Field
The Red Sox start Tim Wakefield, 0-0, 0 ERA. His last trip was a loss, a 5-3 team loss against the White Sox, when he threw 5 1/3 innings, allowing 4 runs on 6 hits. The righty last threw against the Rangers on July 5, 2005 coming away with a win. He allowed 8 hits in 8 innings, giving up 4 in that one.
Sporting a 0-1 overall record and a 0-0 mark within the division, the Rangers aim to knock the Red Sox (0-0 in the division) for a loss.
The Rangers are favored slightly by the bookmakers, who opened the game at -115. They are 0-1 on the season, while the Red Sox bring a 1-0 mark to the table. The total has been set at 10.
Terry Francona's team was busy last game winning against the Rangers 7-3 as 100 pick. The 10 runs sent that game as a push against the total of 10.
It's usually a safe bet that Boston will get men on base as they rank in top three in the league with 12 per game on the season. Texas's pitchers need to keep this group in check to have a chance today.
Some trends to consider:
Boston is 1-0-4 OU in its last 5 games away against Texas
Boston is 2-2-2 OU in its last 6 away
Boston is 3-4-2 OU in its last 9 games
Boston is 4-0-2 OU in its last 6 games against Texas
Texas is 4-0-2 OU in its last 6 games against Boston
Texas is 4-1-1 OU in its last 6 at home
Texas is 1-0-4 OU in its last 5 games at home against Boston
Texas is 1-4-0 SU in its last 5 games after scoring 1 to 3 runs
