Even Albert Pujols, who will man first base in Monday’s Game 3, has taken Alex Wood deep before. More than a few of the Dodgers have solid numbers against the ex-L.A. San Francisco Giants First Five Innings Dodgers over 2.5 runs +115 And while bullpen days can be tricky, Boston’s lineup has proven it can get past Tampa’s relievers. That guy is not slated to start on Monday. The Red Sox are also in a weird spot from a pitching standpoint, and I don’t love backing Eduardo Rodriguez, but there’s only one Rays starter who can give Boston serious trouble. Unless the rookie left-hander is hurt, this is yet another major miscalculation by the Rays’ computers and Kevin Cash. For those who for some reason don’t know, Monday is a must-win for the Rays.
I cannot believe Tampa isn’t going with Shane McClanahan on Monday. That said, they’re not putting themselves in the best position to force a Game 5. Despite their collapse after an outstanding first half, the Red Sox have proven resilient. Tampa Bay Rays Red Sox -110Īfter nearly coughing up the game in the eighth and getting a lucky bounce off of Hunter Renfroe’s hip in extras, the Red Sox are in the driver’s seat against the team who took advantage of Boston’s mid-season spiral to take the AL East title. (Just to note, the Braves have a 34.8% hard-hit rate against right-handed pitchers since the start of September.)īoston Red Sox vs. Certainly enough to navigate a lineup that has a 28.3% hard-hit rate against righties since September. Ian Anderson handled Milwaukee well enough when he saw them earlier in 2021, and he developed some momentum heading into the postseason. Not that the lineup was ever the Brewers’ calling card this season. So as much as he shut down the Braves when he saw him earlier in the season, I’m still favoring Atlanta’s offense on Monday.The Braves were one of the 10 best teams against righties all season when you look at OPS, ISO and wOBA (also 11th in wRC+), and they finished the season strong against righties.Īlso, Milwaukee’s offense isn’t exactly clicking on all cylinders. He’s had time to recover since his last start on Sept. By the end of September, he looked like a completely different pitcher. But then shoulder inflammation landed him on the IL from mid-August to the start of September.
