Wednesday, August 22 7:10 PM – Brian Johnson (4-3, 4.00) vs Carlos Carrasco (15-6, 3.33)

This pitching matchup has to be in favor of Cleveland. Carrasco has been a part of their outstanding rotation, and has made an argument for his name to be included in the Cy Young race as well.

Carrasco has gone 3-1 in his last 5 starts, while yielding 4 runs in 34 innings of work. He has also gone 2 starts in a row where he went 7 innings each time and allowed 0 runs in both contests. Brian Johnson has gone 3-1 in his last 5 starts, with 12 earned runs in 28.1 innings.

Jonhson has been a starter when needed for Boston this season, and he has managed to stay in the rotation with the addition of Nathan Eovaldi. I could see that changing once Eduardo Rodriguez comes back and joins the team.
