The starting pitcher for the Boston Red Sox in Game 4 of the ALDS is still up in the air. There’s no guarantee there will even be four games in a best-of-five series. If the series does last that long, the expectation is that Chris Sale would not be asked to pitch on short rest. That means the decision of who to send to the mound for a potentially pivotal Game 4 comes down to Nathan Eovaldi or Eduardo Rodriguez.
The choice may boil down to which team makes it out of the Wild Card game between the New York Yankees and Oakland A’s.
