Boston will start Rick Porcello in Game 4 on Wednesday night. Porcello has split time between the rotation and bullpen during the 2018 playoffs, which included working as a reliever in Game 1 and pitching five solid innings as a starter in Game 4 of the ALDS against the New York Yankees.
Charlie Morton will get the start for the Astros after a lingering discmfort in his right shoulder forced him to see limited action during the final month of the regular season. Morton was limited to just 15 innings in four starts, but brings postseason experience having made six career starts in the playoffs, which included a 2-1 record and 4.24 ERA during Houston's World Series-winning run in 2017.
