Tampa Bay: Chris Archer (7-5, 3.95 ERA)
</p>
<p>
David Price gets the nod for the Red Sox today and his last start was a great one not giving up any runs and striking out 11 hitters in six innings in an 11-4 win over the Texas Rangers. Boston has won four of his last five starts including his last two where he has given up three earned runs in 13 innings of work. Price has only made eight starts on the season after starting it on the DL and in his last five starts he has lowered his ERA a full point. This is Price’s first start against the Rays this season and in his career he is 3-3 against them and in four starts facing them in Tampa Bay he has an ERA of 2.86. In his last two starts facing them he has gone eight innings in each outing and did not give up any earned runs. The Red Sox are 10-2 in Price last 12 starts after a Quality Start in his previous start.

Archer faced Boston in his 3rd start of the season where he went six innings and only gave up one earned run in a 10-5 Tampa Bay win.
