It’s dangerous to throw around predictions. Especially series-to-series where anything can happen. But this looks like a good series for the Red Sox to bounce back after tough losses in San Diego and Houston.

In some fortunate scheduling the Texas Rangers will play the Toronto Blue Jays. The Yankees play the St. Louis Cardinals, who aren’t terrible at .500 and could punch at the struggling team from NYC. The Astros get to face the Baltimore Orioles. And the Seattle Mariners play the New York Mets. While both NY teams have been struggling of late, the Mets aren’t untalented and might take a win or two from Wild Card competition in Seattle. Basically, if the Sox take care of their own business there is a lot of baseball being played this weekend that could help here or there.
