the Red Sox have a lot of holes in them, their starting left fielder didn't play J.D, Martinez and their ace reliever, Matt Barnes was unavailable. their outfielders have great arms but play deep. they don't have a good second baseman and the rest of the infield can hit but can't field that great. the starting catcher is adequate. the starting pitching as a whole is very slightly better than average in the league.
they won last night because they have a better front office and a good manager. going forward, the Devil Rays are a real good organization with the right ballplayers on the field at all times. to beat them the Red Sox will have to draw to an inside straight.
