Sox are red hot with the bats 6.96 runs per 9 over their last 10 with a 1.85 ERA from their bullpen over that period as well. Rays 5.17 and 4.26 over their last 10. Sox also have the advantage on the mound tonight with Becket over Niemann. Becket had a 1 hit complete game vs. the Rays in JUne and over his last 3 starts vs. them he's got 21 IP and 1 ER giving up just 11 base runners. Niemann has struggled at home 1-3 5.53 ERA and he's backed by an offense that really struggles vs. RHP particularly at home as we mentioned in yesterday's winning play. Boston is #1 in OPS vs. RHP .816 Rays are 18th. Red Sox also hit righties real hard on the road and are 21-5 in their last 31 game #3's!
