Rick <span class=SpellE>Porcello<\/span> is much more of a household name, but he hasn&#8217;t pitched too well over the last few months and the Red Sox beat him up once this season already.

David Price is a nightmare on the road, going 0-3 with an 8.20 ERA this season, yet Ervin Santana is even worse at home, going 0-4 with a hilarious 12.38 ERA. Something has to give, and I&#8217;d lean toward <\/span><\/font><st1:City><st1:place>Tampa<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> in my MLB predictions. We at least know that the current Ray regulars really have Santana figured out, particularly <span class=SpellE>B.J<\/span>. Upton, who has a .467 lifetime average against him.
