What It Means:

It'll be either David Price or Rick Porcello, but the decision likely won't be made until necessary. Price is currently pegged for Game 2, while Porcello is in line to start things off against Trevor Bauer and the Cleveland Indians.

It was a little bit of a down year for Price, whose 3.60 SIERA is his worst since 2010. He turned in a 24.0 percent strikeout rate and 5.3 percent walk rate through 230 innings pitched on the season.
