Boston took four of their six with the Cleveland Indians in the regular season, with a split of the two games the Red Sox played in Progressive Field where the AL East and Central division winner start their best-of-five ALDS matchup tonight at 8:00 PM EDT with Rick Porcello on the mound against Trevor Bauer in the series opener.
Bauer, who started the season in a relief role, was asked what he would have told someone who said then that he would be the Game 1 starter in the ALDS.
“I'm not sure. I probably wouldn't have said anything,” Bauer said.
