This weekend series is very important for the Red Sox as they cannot really afford to lose ground in their quest for the 2010 Major League Baseball playoffs. The Rays are a team that Boston are chasing in the standings and taking 2 out of 3 on the road would be a step in the right direction for them. Friday's game starts at 7:10pm ET and the pitching match-up promises to be a good one as Jon Lester (13-8, 3.26 ERA) takes the mound for the Red Sox against David Price (15-5, 2.97) for the Rays. The Rays definitely have the edge in this game as they are a much stronger home team than Boston are a road team and the Rays have been hot lately. While Lester is a good starter, Price has to be judged as slightly stronger for Tampa Bay and our recommendation is to back the Rays in this game. Boylesports have odds of -125 (4/5) available on Tampa Bay and the line looks valuable on the home team with their 39-24 home record.
