The Red Sox know who will be their Game 1 starter in the ALDS.
And yet, they don’t know which version of him they will be getting.
In his last tuneup for the matchup against either the Yankees or A’s, Chris Sale raised concerns with significantly lower velocity.
The hard-throwing left hander lived in the low-90s, hitting 94 mph just four times, in a 10-3 loss to Baltimore on Wednesday. Sale went 4 2/3 innings in which he struck out eight, allowing three runs, four hits and a walk in a 92-pitch effort.
Sale was not happy.
