Red Sox should have this series in the bag as it seems like the Tigers are dead now after they nearly had the series in control and they choked again last night the Red Sox should cruise through today's game and look to wrap the series up. The Tigers bats and untimely hitting have been the difference as this team is struggling .212 and 2.39 runs per 9 vs. RHP over their last 10 games. They'll face Jake Peavy who has pitched better than his stats indicate so we are getting tremendous value here on Wednesday night. Peavy had 1 start this year vs. the Tigers allowed 4 ER on only 4 hits in 7 innings. 3 of the 4 hits were home runs. That won't happen in Detroit not in the playoffs. Plus he owns the Tigers hottest hitter in Johny Peralta who is just 7-34 against Peavy. Most of this line up is struggling with Cabrera 7-31 in October, Fielder 8-29 with 0 HR, Hunter 6-33, Jackson 3-33, Avilla 5-25, Infante 5-28. Victor Martinez has hit well, but his questionable for this game. Doug Fister will have his hands full in this one as he allowed 11 hits 6 ER in a home start to the Red Sox earlier this year. He's not a power pitcher who strikes out many batters so the Red Sox are going to be putting a ton of balls in play and that will only benefit them as they continue to dominate RHP.
