TMRW, Zack Greinke
Last 3 starts, 3 wins, 21 IP (7 IP in each game), total of 4 earned runs...1.71 ERA
opposed by Ozzie's buddy, Anibal Sanchez
Lots of pressure on Porcello and Fister the first two games next week, Scherzer has been great and Verlander has been horrible on the road.
I'm going to make a silly prediction, whoever wins Game 4, Verlander vs. Sale, that team goes to the playoffs and the other team is out of the WC at the end of the season.
A struggling Jose Quintana is going to have his ultimate start to set the tone...otherwise, an 8 game losing streak against DET falls onto Peavy's shoulders. Obviously, it's critical to win one of those first two games to alleviate the pressure on Liriano and Sale against the two Tigers aces.
Just as much pressure on Verlander to show up on the road now in the biggest series of the season for both teams.
I'm going to make a prediction more Tiger fans show up at the Cell than Sox fans. So it will be like road games for the Sox.
Sox still need to take care of business tomorrow.
