The Guardians will march into Fenway at 7:00 PM EDT with left‑handed rookie Foster Griffin (22) squaring off against veteran right‑hander Sonny Gray (54). Griffin’s 3.67 ERA and 1.19 WHIP look respectable, but Gray’s 2.82 ERA and 1.16 WHIP are a shade sharper—just enough to remind Cleveland that Boston’s .246 team average is already a whisper ahead of the Guardians’ .238. In other words, the Sox may be the only ones who can actually see the ball past the Green Monster.
Cleveland’s lineup is already missing a few puzzle pieces: shortstop Brayan Rocchio is day‑to‑day, and reliever Colin Holderman is stuck on the 15‑day IL, leaving the Guardians hoping Griffin can buy them some breathing room. Meanwhile Boston is nursing its own aches, but that’s a story for another night. Pick your side or jump into the banter on StreakChat.
