Tampa Bay at Boston

Tampa Bay split the first two games at home and is coming off a 14-6 drubbing in Game 2. The Rays are 3-7 in their last 10 postseason games, while manager Kevin Cash, in his seventh year with Tampa, is 27-42 on the road after a day off. Boston is No. 1 in runs and batting average in the postseason after being fifth in runs during the regular season (second in slugging). Hard-throwing starter Nathan Eovaldi had a great playoff run during Boston's World Series title three years ago, and he comes off an impressive performance shutting down the Yankees in a 6-2 win. Eovaldi went 2-1 against Tampa Bay this season with a 2.39 ERA holding the Rays to a .160 batting average with 31 Ks in 26 innings. The Red Sox are 92-65 versus teams whose batters strike out 7+ times per game, plus 21-6 at home after three straight contests against a division opponent. Play Boston.
