The wildcard race is as intense as I can remember, with four teams in legitimate contention with just four games left. The Red Sox threw away a chance at a sweep in Baltimore with a loss on Tuesday, and will now be looking to win the series against an Orioles team with 107 losses. I really hope they can do that.
Nick Pivetta (9-7, 4.52 ERA) will make his final start of the regular season in this one. He’s essentially playing in a do-or-die playoff game, just against a team that is currently 47 games back of first place.
