Pitching in this one will be Josh Flemings for the Rays and Nick Pivetta for the Red Sox.
This is set to be just the third start this season for Flemings. Given the nature of the game, he's in this role to eat up the innings so the regular rotation can rest up before the playoffs begin.
He's pitched in relief a few times in this inning, but has not looked great. Entering play, Flemings has a 6.23 ERA in just over thirty innings pitched.
Pivetta, meanwhile, is closing out his sixth year, and his numbers have been reasonably consistent in his time in the majors. He's a 4.5 ERA pitcher and may never be a superstar, but he's serviceable and will probably be around for a while.

Tampa Bay Rays vs Boston Red Sox Best Picks
Nick Pivetta is no strikeout monster, but he can contribute on his day. Given that he is not going up against the Rays' regular lineup, bettors can expect a few more Ks from him than usual. It's an easy wager for the last day of play.

Tampa Bay Rays vs Boston Red Sox Prediction
Most of the Rays starters will be reset in this one, which means the Red Sox are essentially playing the Durham Bulls. Pivetta going up against some kid with very little successful major league experience is rather unfair. So while Boston isn't going to the postseason, it is likely to at least close out the season with a win.
Boston (-130)
