Since the Sox are currently 4-2 against the NL this season hopefully they should. This week there playing the lowly Pirates and the mediocre Nats, they should be able take both series. Of course ESPN and all the other media outlets is going to hype about Friday's game against the Nats with Stephen Strasburg pitching his 3rd career game. Watch the bats go quiet again like last night against the Cubs from both sides since starting pitching for the Sox has improved in the last week.

After this week the Sox come back home to play the surging Braves who took 2 out of 3 from the Twins last weekend in Minneapolis. Then the Cubs once again. After the 2nd round of the crosstown clash the Sox end Interleague play. The Sox end the month in Kansas City for 3 games where they haven't had much luck there.

The Sox last year after 62 games were 28-34, identical to this year's team.
