Pedro Martinez’s interesting pitching plan for a Red Sox Wild Card game
Pedro Martinez has an interesting pitching plan for a Red Sox Wild Card game
Barring some epic collapse by the Tampa Bay Rays, the Boston Red Sox will need to clinch a Wild Card berth to make a postseason run.
If that’s the case, the one-game golden ticket to October baseball is high stakes, and the Red Sox will need to be firing on all cylinders. A possible opponent will be the Toronto Blue Jays and AL Cy Young candidate Robbie Ray (2.64 ERA, 29 starts), stiff competition.
