This is a 10* play on the Boston Red Sox.
Boston flashed some power in an 8-0 win in Game 1 of this series, with both Dustin Pedroia and Hanley Ramirez hitting multiple homer runs. I like the Red Sox again in Game 2, as Philly sends Aaron Harang to the hill.
The veteran was bothered by a back injury this spring, which is not a good sign at the age of 36. He has only faced Boston twice over the last three seasons, but he was lit up for nine runs in 11 innings in those games. The big bats in Boston's lineup are likely licking their chops at the prospect of facing Harang. David Ortiz is 5-for-11 with a home run and six RBIs lifetime, while Hanley Ramirez is hitting .345 with five home runs in 29 career at bats against the right-hander.
Rick Porcello will get the nod for the visitors, and he looked sharp this spring. The 27 year old recently signed a big contact, and he'll try to give the Sox their money's worth tonight. Given his stellar numbers on the road last year, I like his chances. He was 9-6 with a 2.66 ERA in 17 starts on the road in 2014.
Take BOS.
