I say you start Eovaldi in game 1 and Price in game 2 to give Sale as much time as possible to get to at least 50% healthy.
I think David Price needs to pitch Game 3. On the road. Here’s why...
I think most of his playoff issues are mental, not mechanical, and the Fenway pressure cooker is not ideal for him. He pitched a gem last night, but I don’t think that means everything is all better. Also, he has proven to be sensitive to cold weather. Remember, he pitched last night in Texas with the roof closed. So, if the Red Sox face the Dodgers, a warmer game in LA might be better for him than a cold fall night in Boston. I know it’s cold in Milwaukee, too, but I’d still start him in Milwaukee away from the rabid fans of Fenway. Just so the fans don’t pounce on him if he gets in a jam. I think he needs a little care when handling.
That’s my opinion, anyway.
