Red Sox vs. Dodgers 2018 live stream: Time, TV schedule, and how to watch World Series Game 4 online

How do you follow a marathon classic? The Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers will show us in Game 4 of the World Series on Saturday night (8 p.m. ET, FOX), just over 16 hours after ending the longest game in postseason history on Friday.

After 18 innings and nine pitchers used by each team in Game 3, on Saturday we are sure to see a scramble for both teams on the mound. Neither team announced their starters as of Saturday afternoon.

For the Red Sox the most likely candidates to start and or pitch some length are lefties Drew Pomeranz and Eduardo Rodriguez. Of the two, only Rodriguez pitched in Game 3 but he only faced one batter and threw six pitches. Chris Sale, the presumptive Game 5 starter, is in play as well.

“Somebody will start. Most likely a lefty,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said while laughing.

UPDATE: Rodriguez gets the start for Boston, the team announced.

The Dodgers have a more clear cut option in Rich Hill, who last started in Game 4 of the NLCS, 11 days ago. Hill did pitch in relief for an inning in Game 6 against the Brewers, but even that was eight days ago.

Hill is ready to go but the Dodgers overnight Friday into Saturday announced that their Game 4 starter is actually TBD, and not Hill. Whether this was gamesmanship remains to be seen.

With left-handers likely to pitch on Saturday for both teams, we might see a little more offense then the five combined runs in 18 innings in Game 3. The Red Sox and Dodgers are hitting a collective .152/.215/.241 against right-handers in the World Series, a byproduct of dominant outings by Walker Buehler and Nathan Eovaldi.

Against southpaws, the teams are hitting a collective .260/.342/.350 through the first three games.
