Keeping the best record in the American League? Get back to me in a few hours.
Hopefully the Sox will take this one. Ryan Dempster seems to be finding his way back. Joe Blanton gives up some runs, even if he doesn't always give away games. With the lineup hot, it feels like a game they can win.
But Dempster against the likes of Trout, Hamilton, Pujols, and Trumbo, even with all their various struggles, feels pretty scary. The homer has not been his friend of late, and Fenway can be awfully cramped. Hopefully he'll dodge that issue today.
Go Sox!
