Cora has some decisions to make when it comes to losing the DH in the World Series (which is one of the most ridiculous things in all of sports, but I'll save that rant). With Bradley coming up big in the ALCS, is he still the prime candidate to sit? In the second half, the Red Sox played in NL parks:
7//30@ PHI: JBJ sat
7/31 @ PHI: Betts sat
9/3 @ATL: JBJ sat
9/4 @ATL: Benintendi sat
9/5 @ ATL: Betts sat
The World Series is obviously different, as Cora just used it as an opportunity to give guys a day. Betts is not going to sit. The outfield defense was hugely important in the ALCS, but I have a hard time seeing them use Martinez as a PH only in any game.
