Jason Bay has quickly made his mark with the Red Sox and now the team goes for the sweep this afternoon against the Athletics. Bay is 2-for-7 with a home run and 3 RBIs with his new team. Daisuke Matsuzaka (11-2, 3.04 ERA) starts for Boston against southpaw Dallas Braden (2-1, 4.39 ERA). Red Sox are 39-16 at home this season. Over 70 percent of the money is on Boston, despite the line being at least -225 in most sportsbooks monitored by Sports Insights. Other aces pitching today include Ben Sheets (10-4, 3.14 ERA), Carlos Zambrano (12-4, 2.80 ERA) and John Lackey (9-2, 2.93 ERA), and Francisco Liriano makes his first start since being promoted from Triple-A. He struggled in April, going 0-3 with a 11.32 ERA in three starts before being sent down, but went 10-0 with a 2.67 ERA in his last 11 starts at Triple-A Rochester. The Twins are favored by at least -170 against the Indians in most sportsbooks monitored by Sports Insights. Pinnacle opened at -170 and is now at -174 so the line has barely moved this morning.
