Its Monday, August 11 and the Red Sox (65-54) are in Houston to open a series against the Astros (66-52).
Garrett Crochet is slated to take the mound for Boston against Cristian Javier for Houston. This is Javier’s first start since returning from elbow surgery in May of 2024.
These teams met at the beginning of the month in Boston and the Red Sox swept the series outscoring the Astros 15-5. Boston has since lost their last two but still sit just four games behind the Blue Jays in the Amercian League East. Houston’s mediocre August (4-5) coupled with Seattle’s surge (8-1) this month have combined to see the Astros’ lead in the American League West dwindle to just 0.5 games. Needless to say, this is a series with massive ramifications.
