Thanks, MVP.

Tigers come in with a 6 game win streak.  However, all were home wins.  On the road so far they are 2-8.  

Sox are 3-3 at the Fens and 4-8 on the road.  

Tigers are 10-9 overall and just 1 game back of Central Div leader Twins.  Sox are 7-11, last in the AL: East, but only 4 games out of 1st, held by the Rays with their 28th biggest MLB payroll.  

Speaking of whom, anyone remember the guy JH fired about 3 years ago?  Chaim Bloom is now the Cardinals CBO and their payroll is ranked 24th and they are 10-8.  But it's way early.  

Right now the Sox pitching is ranked 25th in ERA, the hitting 22d in runs scored, and the defense tied for 4th in most errors.  Thank goodness it's still April.  

Suarez stunk his first 2 starts but went 6 shutout IP last time out against those very same Cardinals.  

Trevor Story has an OPS of .560 and leads the Sox in K's with 24.  However, he also leads comfortably in rbi's with 17 and has the 3d most total bases,26.  

Contreras is looking good with an OPS of .936 and a WAR of 1.0, so of course he has bad back and is day to day.
