The Red Sox are finally a .500 baseball team, after sweeping the Yankees the Red Sox are riding high. Everything seems to be coming into place for the Sox, they are hitting and get decent outings from their starting pitchers (the exception of that assclown Lackey). Tonight, it's Tillman vs. Dice-K.
You never know what you are going to get from Dice-K, but overall I think he has been turning the corner. He let up three runs in the first inning last time out, but was able to settle down and give the Sox 6 strong innings. If he can pitch 6 innings each time out, and let up no more then 4 runs I'll take that every time from Dice-K. On the season he is 3-3 with a 4.64 ERA. Although I feel good about Dice-K you have to be worried about his numbers against the Orioles going 4-3 with a 5.73 ERA including 1-2 with a 7.56 ERA in three starts last year.
Tillman was a praised prospect that really hasn't panned out year for Baltimore, though he is coming off his best start of the season going 6 innings allowing 1 run on three hits. Still, he is 2-3 with a 6.15 ERA, so one would think Boston could do some damage tonight with the way they have been hitting.
Red Sox win 7-4
