Beckett looking for first win over Arizona: Red Sox right-hander Josh Beckett is 3-0 with a 1.80 ERA in three road starts this season. He's allowed just one home run away from Fenway Park in 20 innings of work. Beckett's been far from superb in his career against Arizona, going 0-3 with a 6.97 ERA in four career starts.
Davis successful against Red Sox: Arizona's Doug Davis is a solid 2-1 with a 3.19 ERA at home this season and comes in off consecutive victories on the road over Philadelphia and New York. Davis has posted a 3-1 record and 2.76 ERA in five career appearances against Boston.

Free Pick of the Day
Friday, June 8th
Handicapper: Tony George
Selection: White Sox OVER Astros
Analysis: More of a play against Houston here than anything. They are a deplorable road team at 5-18 their last 23 games, and start a pitcher tonight that is 2-4 on the road in Chris Sampson. Adding to he Rockets woes is a weak bullpen right now, not in good form. The White Sox come off 3 brutal series against the Yanks, Blue Jays and Twins and are looking for some recovery. John Danks on the hill for Chicago is not having a great year but is 2-2 at home with a respectable ERA of 3.70, and with some run support tonight against a weak pitcher, I look for him to have a decent outing and for the hometown White Sox to get back on track after dropping 3 of 4 to the Yanks.
