I have to admit I did not realize that Nathan Eovaldi was still in the league pitching but I guess so as he will serve as the opener for Boston on Wednesday night now I know this is the trend around baseball but since when as the bullpen been the Red Sox strong suite that they would like to go the entire game using it in any even we will take advantage.
Alex Cora says that with the off day on Thursday it allows him to get more creative with the pitching staff. Expect Nathan to be limited to 55 pitches max. Nathan Vovaldi began his 2019 campaign in the Boston starting rotation before being put on the shelf for 3 months due to an elbow injury.

As a reliever he has put up a 6.75 ERA over 10.2 innings since coming back from the IL. And in the four starts before his injury he gave up 6 home runs and had a 6.00 ERA. In 2018 Nathan signed a 4 year 68 million dollar contract with the Red Sox which is looking like another bad bad signing to go along with a ton of their current bad contract pitchers.
Indians come in with another young ace in one Shane Bieber he is 12-4 with a 3.28 ERA he has 193 strike outs and just 32 walks and has been a lights out starter for this team in 2019. Last two starts for Bieber he's gone 16 innings and allowed just 4 runs and struck out 19 batters.

Indians come into this game really with a solid momentum and the Red Sox just can not seem to get out of their own way. I love fading Boston here as I can easily see Shane Bieber going at least 7 innings here as Indians win in blowout fashion 9-1.
