The more I have thought about Price Starting tonight, the more it makes sense to me. This assumes that there is nothing wrong with Price. Obviously if there is a possible problem with price, then it is a no brainier.
If Price pitches a gem and is the game five winner or even a no decision he could wind up being the MVP. That would be the final nail in the coffin of his post season curse. That would bode well for his performance in future post seasons. And if Sale is healthy and we lose tonight, he just might be a better bet to start a game six back at Fenway. Also, if we were to be losing significantly tonight and there is some question about Sale, you could bring him in for a couple of batters to see if his issue surfaces.
I know that Kershaw will be in his element tonight. Can he be actually tougher than Buehler or Hill were the last two games? And will Dave Roberts make another pitching change blunder?
