    Pitch count limit in the Boston/Texas game tomorrow

    Just a heads up in case anyone might be interested in this info. Kevin Millwood will only pitch 100 pitches tomorrow. Also, keep in mind that Millwood is a very slow starter early in the year.

    Was already taking a peek at this game. I like the Red Sox ML. Julian Tavarez was literally the Sox best pitcher for the last month of the season last year posting three staight wins and a pretty darn good ERA too. Don't have the exact numbers, but they gave him the #5 because of how well he did at the end of the year. Not only that, but Boston didn't get anything going offensively, it's not likely they get shut down twice in a row.

    Thanks for the heads up Dan.

    Boston was going to be a play most likely tomorrow anyway.

    We all know the Red Sox won't get shut out again tomorrow.

    Tavarez was 3-0 in six starts with a 4.01 ERA. Sox at plus money seems like a solid play.

    I see a rebound by the Sox as well. This is a possibility for a play no doubt.

    I think over is a better play than the Red Sox personally, though that is the only side worth considering, IMO.
