The defending World Champs are in the middle of the NL East and right around .500 as we cross the midpoint of the season. Here are the current hitting stats, here are the current pitching stats. On offense, they are paced by three speeds guys (Pierre and Castillo) and three sluggers (Lowell, Cabrera, and Choi). The bullpen recently received Billy Koch in trade to shore up the ranks of the setup guys. Their closer, Benitez, has been outstanding.
Tonight's starter, Josh Beckett, is pretty famous for his playoff performance last year. He's great when he's healthy. Beckett is coming off the DL to start against the Pirates. He was out with a strained back.
Kip Wells will try to get back into a good kind of groove.
