The Boston Red Sox ride into their Game 2 ALDS matchup with the Rays looking for answers.
Boston suffered a shutout loss to the Rays in Game 1, with Rays starter Shane McClanahan pitching five innings of five-hit, no-run ball.
McClanahan was backed up by an impressive showing from the Tampa Bay bullpen.
To make matters worse for the Red Sox, starter Eduardo Rodriguez was only able to go 1.2 innings, giving up two earned runs in that short time frame.
On Friday, the Red Sox will have lefty Chris Sale on the mound. He has won three of his last five outings, racking up at least six Ks in each of his last three.
Sale has been solid against the Rays on the season, giving up a combined three earned runs in 9.2 innings of work against Tampa Bay.
The Rays know that Boston's offense has to wake up, but the pressure could conceivably mount for Tampa Bay should Sale turn in another dominant outing against them.
So where is the value on Friday evening? Our MLB PRO Report shows a clear edge.
