Stat from ESPN just popped up on my phone:
"Red Sox win their first two series of the season for the first time since 2006."
What's ironic about that is that the Sox missed the playoffs that year.
In the NL East, the Mets have a small park, Braves are hitter friendly, Phillies have a short porch in left and right. Pretty much the same in that regard.
They were 1-5 last season, 0-6 in 2011.
This game should be interesting. Two very good pitchers on the mound, but Dickey can be good or bad, depends on the knuckler.
