When all is right with the baseball world, the Red Sox lose. This has happened very little in the 2018 season, what with the Sox winning 108 games in the regular season. Now, in the ALCS, they find themselves perched on Thursday night to potentially clinch the series on the road with tonight’s Game 5.
It falls to Justin Verlander to try to hold down the Boston lineup with Houston’s season at stake. Of course, it’s also up to the Astros hitters to try to get something going against David Price.
As you may know, “Price doesn’t pitch well in the postseason” is one of those narratives that exists; this is also what some people would say about Clayton Kershaw and he dominated in the NLCS yesterday.
