What's your reasoning for Oakland? I have stayed away from that one today.

More of a fade of Buchholz then anything... He's looked horrible, his velocity has been down, and I'm pretty sure he's not healthy at all. On top of this, Sox have never faced Milone before and they have traditionally struggled big time with lefties they've never seen before.

Good enough for me, will play. At the same time though, Bucholz is still capable of tossing a good start(especially against the A's) but again A's do great in hitter friendly ballparks in the first half of the year away from home. Also, Red Sox offense has been known to tee off against pitchers getting stage fright in Fenway pitching there for the first time.
