Boston currently holds a one game lead for the AL Wild Card and send out their ace tonight. Garrett Crochet owns a 2.42 road ERA with a 12-2 SU record. Still no Bo Bichette for the Blue Jays and Max Scherzer is off of allowing seven earned runs on the road to Kansas City. Toronto has hit lefties well all season, but the numbers are little down in September. They already locked up a playoff spot while the Red Sox magic number is down to three to clinch a spot in the postseason.

Boston used four relievers last night so could use some length from Garrett Crochet in his last scheduled start of the RS. The Red Sox still are battling for a WC spot so they can't exactly manage Crochet's innings today and besides, he won't pitch again (unless needed in a must-win on Sunday) until next Tuesday in the WC round if Boston makes it. Crochet has gone at least six innings in seven straight and has a 2.12 ERA in 12.2 innings this year vs. Toronto.
