The Boston Red Sox will send the flame-throwing southpaw Chris Sale to the hill today to try to even up the series after getting bamboozled last night, 10-5, by the visiting Tampa Bay Rays. Sale has been outstanding for his new team, posting a 1.23 ERA, with a 0.68 WHIP, in 14.2 innings of work. The Rays will send Jake Odorizzi to the hill and in 12 innings of work thus far, he has a 4.50 ERA, and a 1.00 WHIP. The Rays are 1-4 in their last 5 meetings with the Red Sox, 2-5 in their last 7 trips to Fenway, and 3-9 in their last 12 against lefties.
