Those who have followed me over the years know I make a living by fading the Angels, a downright awful franchise. We’re getting a low price with the Red Sox to do it. Bennett is a rookie who is finding his form, and that includes allowing 17 hits and 7 runs in his last 22.2 innings. Bennett has allowed just 1 run in his last 12.1 innings. Detmers has been strong lately in his own right, but he pitches for the Angels, a team I’m not in the business of backing, especially at cheap prices. Give me the Red Sox.
