Rays Set to Unleash Unexpected Fury on Red Sox: Can Boston Survive the Storm?
I think the Rays are the most impressive franchise in baseball. I know that’s probably a strange thing to say, but this is not a major market team, and they continue to find a way to field a winner. It seems like no matter who they roll out on the field, or what obstacle they are hit with, they end up winning consistently. The season is far from over, don’t get me wrong, but they are in second place in the AL East and are six games above .500 which is a good accomplishment to this point in the season. They don’t have an Ace, they don’t have any real star, they are just a team that finds ways to win games. Tonight they send out Ryan Pepiot to the hill. Pepiot is 3-5 with a 3.20 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP. He has been better on the road than he has been at home, but he has made significantly more home starts than road ones. In four road starts, he has allowed just six earned runs in 23 innings. Currently, Pepiot is in great form with six straight quality starts. His worst start of the season was against these Red Sox, though, as he allowed six earned runs in six innings. Overall, the Red Sox are hitting .260 against him in 50 at-bats.
