The Boston Red Sox squeaked home a first-inning run in Oakland last night, but we do not expect them to do so again tonight. Boston averages .2 runs per first inning so far this season, and tonight, they face a tougher pitcher to score runs on.
On the other hand, the Athletics average .4 runs per first inning so far this season, but they, too, now face a tougher pitcher to score against. Last season, Oakland was 25th in first-inning runs scored per game, and this lineup is not any better than it was last season.
