Red Sox sends newly acquired Drew Pomeranz against San Francisco Giants on Wednesday Night
The Boston Red Sox will get its first look at the newest pitcher it acquired against the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday Night. Drew Pomeranz is the Red Sox pitcher and this will be his first start at Fenway Park. The Boston Red Sox will be favored at home. The San Francisco Giants are the best team on the road with a 28-18 record. The road game for the Giants have allowed them to pull away from the rest of the pack in the NL West. The ballgame between the San Francisco Giants and the Boston Red Sox is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, July 20, 2016 at 7:10 p.m. ET at Fenway Park. The matchup will be broadcast on ESPN.
The Boston Red Sox will send the lefty Pomeranz to the mound on Wednesday night. He was picked up from the Padres during the All-Star break. He is going to have to pitch under the pressure of a pennant chase for the first time in his career. Before last season, Pomeranz was just an average pitcher. He is hot this year going 8-7 and a 2.47 ERA with the Padres. The Red Sox pitching staff is having their injury problems this season. Junichi Tazawa is on the disabled list with shoulder problems and Craig Kimbrel battling a knee injury. Koji Uehara is doing good at closing out games, as he is 4 for 4 before the All-Star break. The problem with Uehara is that he allows too many hits along with his strikeouts. His ERA is 4.54 and we wouldn't feel safe with him against a good San Francisco lineup.
The San Francisco Giants will probably be sending Matt Cain to the mound for this ballgame. Cain is the scheduled to start this game, but he's still on the disabled list. Cain has been battling a hamstring injury and has been out on a rehab assignment. Top Sports Blog thinks Cain is a big question mark for the Giants right now, but we see a lot flaws in the Red Sox right now as well. We think this game can go either way but we are giving the edge to San Francisco.
