Since 2013 there's been an interleague matchup almost everyday and the Red Sox and Brewers take their turns to kick off the first weekend of the 2014 season. Marco Estrada takes the mound after a career high 7 wins in 2013 while Jake Peavy begins his first full season in Boston in front of the home crowd. Estrada was named to Milwaukee's starting rotation full-time beginning in 2013 after a career as a long-distance reliever and spot starter. He responded with the best W/L % of his career going 7-4 with an ERA of 3.87.

Estrada had one of the best Spring Trainings of any pitcher in baseball. He posted a 4-0 record in 6 starts with an ERA of just 2.16. Estrada allowed just 6 runs over 24 innings and walked only 2 batters showing sound control. Estrada did not see the Red Sox in 2013 and has faced just 6 players in their lineup in his career, none with more than 2 plate appearances.

Jake Peavy enters the last season of a 5-year $77 million contract looking for a strong 2014 to get one more big contract. The 32-year-old captured the first World Series title of his career in 2013 after coming to Boston on July 30th. He made 10 starts for the Red Sox down the stretch going 4-1 including a complete game.

Peavy pitched only 12.2 innings this Spring but posted a low ERA of 2.13. He did not face the Brewers with either the White Sox or Red Sox and has actually only faced six current Milwaukee players led by Aramis Ramirez going 5 for 22 (.227) and Mark Reynolds' 3-20 (.150)
