Boston Red Sox: 3 @ TOR; 3 vs. BAL. Last week, I pumped up the Yankees, and they responded with a few huge offensive outputs. This week, it's Boston's turn. The Sox get to face two pitching staffs that are banged up and have pretty big question marks, from Victor Zambrano to Dustin McGowan, from Jeremy Guthrie to Brian Burres.
