—
Matt Barnes和Austin Davis沒入選,紅襪改用澤村拓一和Darwinzon Hernandez
2. J.D. Martinez說他打第六棒的原因之一是腳踝問題,他在外卡戰結束後跟Cora說他不知道腳踝何時會不舒服、也不確定上場後表現會不會受影響,怕會對Bogaerts-Devers連線造成影響。因此Cora問他是否同意被擺在Verdugo之後,J.D. Martinez表示他不在意。「結果我們還有一場得了14分,也許這行得通。面對光芒和太空人這種分析能力強的團隊也許就要用這種鋸齒打線。」
3. Cora宣布Game 1先發是Chris Sale、Game 2是Nathan Eovaldi
—
Sale說他認為自己找回了Changeup和Fastball的控球
—
Cora說紅襪很滿意Sale現在的狀況,「我們不會把他當opener」
—
Merloni認為這跟Houck/Pivetta調度有關,若Sale在Game 2先發然後爆炸的話,這兩人其中之一可能無法在Game 4上場
4. Cora說2018年季後賽用先發投手去扛牛棚角色的起源是Steven Wright突然受傷,他決定跟Porcello和Eovaldi說他們會去支援牛棚
5. 太空人Game 1先發是Framber Valdez、Game 2是Luis Garcia
