After a frustrating start to the week in which the Boston Red Sox lost two of three games to the Oakland Athletics, the team hopes to bounce back as they head back home to Fenway Park to face the New York Mets for a weekend showdown.

Gabby analyzes the series pitching matchups in Kutter Crawford vs. Kodai Senga, James Paxton vs. Max Scherzer and Carlos Carrasco likely facing a bullpen game for Boston.

Gabby also discusses Corey Kluber and Trevor Story, who are scheduled to make rehab starts with the Portland Sea Dogs on Friday, and breaks down the shortstop situation upon the potential return of Pablo Reyes. Who goes? Kiké Hernandez? Christian Arroyo? Yu Chang? It's all discussed on today's episode.
