Best route to Mass Pike at rush hour?

So I just got a job offer for a job that would require me to take the pike out to Framingham area every morning. I've never actually tried to get to the pike (I'm in Ball Square area) in the morning, and wondered if anybody had favored routes?

For some reason, the Mass Ave/Alewife Brook Parkway light is maintained by Cambridge, even though the parkway is a DCR road.

There are signs on the light poles saying to call Cambridge Traffic and Parking if the light is malfunctioning. Plus the signal heads are yellow, not battleship grey.
