Josh Beckett(14-4, 3.10 ERA) the Boston Red Sox starting pitcher today was MLBs first 14-game winner this season after his last outing. He gave just two runs on three hits in an 8-2 BoSox victory over the Tigers in front of the home town fans in Fenway Park. Boston’s most consistent hurler this season has limited opponents to three runs or fewer in 15 of his last 18 starts, which has converted into a spectacular 12-2 record along with a 2.17 ERA . Everytime the Spring , Texas native , takes to the hill the Red sox are almost always a viable bet. Meanwhile, Ricky Romero (10-5, 3.70 ERA) the Blue Jays starting pitcher has struggled against AL east teams as is evident by 5.06 ERA in eight starts this season. Not a good omen considering he goes against a Boston side has smacked him around (9.72 ERA). Final notes & Key Trends: The Red Sox are 14-1 as -125 to -150 road favorites this season…..Play on the Red Sox
