Neither team has formally announced their starting pitchers for Wednesday. At press time, we know that Chris Sale will start Tuesday’s opener for Boston; manager Alex Cora has said that David Price (3.58 ERA) will “probably” start Game 2. The Dodgers have yet to assign any pitchers for this series, and have some decisions to make after using Clayton Kershaw in relief during Saturday’s Game 7 NLCS victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.
These two teams didn’t get a chance to play each other during the regular season, but Price is familiar with two LA batters in particular – and the numbers aren’t good. Manny Machado (formerly with Baltimore) is 12-for-41 lifetime off Price with five homeruns and a 1.024 OPS; Brian Dozier (formerly with Minnesota) is 9-for-39 with a pair of homers and a .743 OPS.
MLB Odds: Price Probable for Boston in Game 2 Versus Dodgers
It hasn’t been made official yet at press time, but it looks like David Price (3.58 ERA) will start for the Boston Red Sox this Wednesday when they host the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 2 of the 2018 World Series. FOX has the first pitch at 8:09 PM ET.
Red Sox manager Alex Cora has told reporters that Price will “probably” start Game 2 after Chris Sale takes the mound in Tuesday’s opener. The Dodgers have yet to announce their starters for either game. They go into this series as +125 underdogs, with the Red Sox at –155.
