    28th of May Boston @ Arizona

    Houck vs RHP Kelly

    One game at a time!

    Get the win, and we will be tied for the 8th best record in MLB.

    So Sox!

    When you say it's gonna happen now
    When exactly do you mean?

    Maybe we can find a way to give him some innings, today.

    LOL

    As long as it because the Sox are up by like 10 and want to rest the pen, fine with me!

    There is another scenario, too, but I won't go there.

    A strong 6 inning start ( 2-3 times through lineup) from Houck would further solidify the SP rotation. Win today and the flight home from a sweep will be more comfortable. Most of the East keeps winning along with us. A combined 49 games over .500 with Blue Jays in the rear view mirror.

    Agreed. A good start by Paxton and Whitlock would go a long way towards improving my view of the starting 5, too.

    I already like this starting 5 more than any Sox starting 5 since at least 2019. But we still need a good bullpen and some scoring to win. Last night was just the second low-scoring win by the Sox this season.

    Today I think the Diamondbacks have the edge with Kelly. Just 6 days ago Houck was terrific for 6 innings (and just 1 run) and the Sox lost because we only scored 1 run and Crawford gave up the 2d and winning run to the Angels.

    Verdugo RF
    Devers 3B
    Turner DH
    Yoshida LF
    Duran CF
    Casas 1B
    Hernandez SS
    Valdez 2B
    Wong C

    Devers is back! Six lefty bats vs. righty Kelly.

    Houck > Kelly

    Why abandon your "what have you done recently" criteria, just for today?

    I think Houck could be better than Kelly. What worries me is the Sox hitting.

    Yesterday Whitlock was fantastic and so were Crawford, Martin, and Jansen.

    And the Sox barely won, 2-1.

    The day before against a lousy Arizona starter (Pfaadt) they won 7-3, which was great, but in the previous 4 games they scored a total of 4 runs.

    So in 5 of the last 6 games the Sox hitting has been marginal, and what I'm worried about is a 2-1 loss today or something like it.
