Read into it what you will, but it's funny it's worked out that way to this point, at the very least. Btw (to pass some more time), I looked at the W/L splits based on opposing starter’s ERA (as of June 16) - listed by category, Sox W/L (and Tavarez specific W/L):

sub-2 ERA, 0-1 (0-0); 2+ ERA, 7-4 (4-4)
sub-3 ERA, 1-2 (1-1); 3+ ERA, 6-3 (3-3)
sub-4 ERA, 3-3 (2-2); 4+ ERA, 4-2 (2-2)
sub-5 ERA, 5-4 (3-3); 5+ ERA, 2-1 (1-1)

Interesting symmetry in his personal W/L record in this breakdown - but also fairly consistent results in the “number +” team W/L records i.e. outside of facing Danny Haren and his 1.68 ERA, the Sox tend to win roughly twice as many Tavarez starts as they lose, in every other ERA “category”. Read into it what you will, but it’s funny it’s worked out that way to this point, at the very least.
