Tonight’s game at Fenway will feature an intriguing match-up between Dice-K and Scott Kazmir. Both pitchers have great stuff and are among the leagues best pitchers, but niether has been able to elivate to the top and become a Cy Young candidate. A win tonight will give Dice-K 17 wins on the season and put the Red Sox in first place. A win for the Rays will give Kazmir the confidence he needs against Boston in case the teams meet in October. As good as both pitchers are, I don’t see this game as becoming a pitcher’s duel; the Sox offense should be able to get to Kazmir in the first few innings, the key to the game is for Dice-K to keep his walks down.
