The Red Sox lineup present a much stiffer competition than Milwaukee or Atlanta, so we can expect the Red Sox to hit again tonight.
Ryu is decent, but he's given up 17 hits and 7 runs in three postseason starts this year and he has never pitched in Fenway.





Hyun-Jin Ryu has a road ERA this season is 3.58, nearly 2.5 runs higher than his home split. Since the All-Star break, his batting average allowed is more than 100 points higher, and he comes off consecutive poor outings against the Brewers. Now he faces MLB's top lineup in the Red Sox. David Price, meanwhile, is considerably better at home -- he's 9-2 with a 2.98 ERA at Fenway, and sports at 2.25 ERA and .200 average allowed since the All-Star break. I'm backing the Red Sox here on Wednesday night.
