After great starts by Clay Buchholz & Jon Lester, John Lackey looks to make it 3 in a row as the Sox open a 3-game weekend series in Baltimore. The Sox recently took 2 of 3 from the O's at Fenway. Another win tonight would give the Sox a winning 12-11 record for the month of April.
As you turn the calendar to May, the Sox could really use another road sweep in Baltimore. May is a tough month with seies against their AL East rivals - including 5 against the Yankees & 3 at the Trop. Other upcoming games in May include the Angels, Tigers & Phillies. We will see if the Sox pitching has turned the corner by the end of May. Defense by Beltre & Hall continues to scare me. Hopefully, both Cameron & Ellsbury will be back soon.
With the Celtics & Bruins moving deeper into their playoffs the Sox are flying a little bit under the radar. We need a 15 or 16 win month in May, though, to make up for a poor April.
