Coming into the weekend, pretty much everyone who knew anything about baseball thought the series would include an epic pitcher’s duel. I don’t think anyone expected last night’s matchup between Michael Lorenzen and Hunter Dobbins to be that game, but here we are. Can tonight’s matchup between Cy Young Award contenders Cole Ragans and Garrett Crochet possibly compare? Only way to find out.
One weird thing about this matchup is that if you knew nothing about the two pitchers involved, you might think it was a bit lopsided in favor of the Red Sox.
