Jack Flaherty (RH'er) for the Tigers, vs Nick Pivetta for the defense

Flaherty's stats would indicate a potential pitcher for Boston, 1-4 W-L's, but a 3.84 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. More significant when pitching to Red Sox batters at Fenway is 81 K's in 61 innings .

Pivetta is Pivetta. Matches the WHIP at 1.07 but can be HR prone . Might throw a gem or might make you throw up.

Question of the Day: Who does call the pitches for Boston ? Is it preprogrammed according to analytics, implemented by Wong/McGuire, or is it Bailey ? Is it Breslow himself, sitting above the action watching on GameDay ?
The pitch selections to McCann and Gunnar last night in the 2nd were dubious, execution by Crawford was worse.

Here is another winnable game against a Tiger's team with a comparable record (27-28) , but remember this is a Boston team that has a losing record at Fenway due to not hitting well in the 1912 Park.
