Oakland at Boston

After starting the season 17-2 and building a 7.5 game lead in the AL East, Boston has been rather ordinary and has fallen behind the NY Yankees.They have won two straight games, and have Chris Sale on the mound tonight. Sale has been busy being Sale to start 2018. He is 3-1 with a 2.17 ERA, recording 78 strikeouts in just 58 innings. The A's send Trevor Cahill to the mound off the DL, and on a pitch count, and the A's pen has seen heavy use after playing in New York over the weekend. The current A's roster sports a pretty poor .224 team average vs. Sale, and he is dealing right now, putting up Cy Young stats early on. Play on Boston.
