Description: Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia 1-for-9 with three strikeouts against Rays left-hander Matt Moore.
Insight: Pedroia is having another solid season, batting .331 with 23 runs scored, one homer and 15 RBI, but this is an unfavorable matchup.
 
5/3/2013 9:19:00 AM
Description: Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia is hitting .315 this season, but he has never had success against Friday's opposing starter Derek Holland. Pedroia is 2-for-14 (.143) against the Rangers hurler.
Insight: Pedroia does have one homer against Holland, which is one more than he has this season. The second baseman has been performing well lately -- after striking out 15 times in his first 15 games, he has one strikeout, nine walks and a .320 average over his last 13 games, but Friday's game does not present a favorable matchup for him.
 
Hot4/30/2013 10:52:00 AM
Description: Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia is 10-for-20 (.500) against Toronto starter Brandon Morrow with a pair of home runs and a 1.542 OPS.
Insight: The second baseman is hitting .330 with 18 walks and an .831 OPS despite still being homerless. This is a excellent matchup for Pedroia which could end that streak.
 
4/26/2013 11:46:00 AM
Description: Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia is 1-for-14 (.071) against Houston starter Erik Bedard.
Insight: The second baseman is hitting .301 with 15 walks, but he has struck out 15 times in 83 at-bats and has yet to hit his first homer. Friday is an unfavorable matchup which should probably be avoided.
 
4/23/2013 11:38:00 AM
Description: Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia is 1-for-10 against Oakland right-hander Bartolo Colon.
Insight: The second baseman is hitting .292 with 14 walks, but he has struck out 15 times in 72 at-bats and has yet to hit his first homer. Odds are he won't break his homerless streak on Tuesday.
 
4/21/2013 10:25:00 AM
Description: Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia has been underwhelming against Royals starter Ervin Santana, who faces Boston Sunday. Pedroia is 3-for-20 against Santana.
Insight: The second baseman is hitting .300 with 12 walks, but he has struck out an uncharacteristic 15 times in 60 at-bats and has yet to hit his first homer. Santana gives up a lot of home runs, but he always has been able to get Pedroia out.
 
4/17/2013 9:59:00 AM
Description: Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia is just 1-for-13 (.077) against Cleveland right-hander Justin Masterson.
Insight: Masterson has pitched great this season (3-0, 0.41 ERA, 0.818 WHIP) and the combination could prove to be too much for Pedroia in this unfavorable matchup. Although batting .306 this season, Pedroia has just one hit in his last seven at-bats.

Description: Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia is 6-for-14 (.429) in his matchups with Yankees right-hander Hiroki Kuroda.
Insight: Pedroia was 2-for-6 with an RBI in Monday's season opener. Fantasy owners are hoping he'll bounce back from a mediocre season in 2012. A second straight good outing would go a long way in restoring the faith.
 
10/3/2012 9:55:00 AM
Description: Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia is 5-for-12 (.417) in his matchups with Yankees right-hander Hiroki Kuroda.
Insight: With nothing to play for but pride, Pedroia banged out a couple of hits on Tuesday against his biggest rival, the Yankees. He's batting .289 with 81 runs, 15 HR, 65 RBI and 19 SB. A far cry from his 2011 production, but at least he's giving it his all.
 
10/2/2012 3:07:00 PM
Description: Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia was expected to miss the final two games of the season due to a broken finger, but Peter Gammons is reporting that Pedroia insists he'll play on Tuesday.
