Here is the line-up for the Red Sox:
1. Tommy Pham (R) LF
2. Rafael Devers (L) 3B
3. Xander Bogaerts (R) SS
4. Alex Verdugo (L) RF
5. J.D. Martinez (R) DH
6. Eric Hosmer (L) 1B
7. Christian Arroyo (R) 2B
8. Jarren Duran (L) CF
9. Reese McGuire (L) C
Aaron Boone still poring over his rest calendar and trying to configure a line-up that is balanced with those players he needs to get going offensively, leading to the second or third best starting nine. With Stanton and Carpenter out, one would expect the job to be easier.
Today, we may receive a glimpse of what we can expect the rest of the season from Frankie Montas, as he could be the second coming (third for those hair-splitters like me) of Javier Vazquez. The second best or worst scenario would be a Sonny Gray legacy, in which one pitches better on the road and stinks at Yankee Stadium. Of course, with Montas' splits, he was much more effective in the cavernous Oakland Coliseum where the expansive foul ground is a pitcher's best friend.
