The Red Sox host the Rays in the final game of a four-game series (Boston lead 2-1) with coverage beginning on BT Sport\/ESPN at 16.00.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday offers up three day-games total from the NL Central and the AL West, plus an interleague match between the Miami Marlins and the Seattle Mariners.<\/p>\n<p>The Mariners got off to a slow start but have picked up in recent days and the King&#8217;s Court section should be in full voice for this game with Felix Hernandez set to start for the home team.<\/p>\n<p>There are four early games on Thursday, all from the American League and currently scheduled to include appearances from Chris Sale, Corey Kluber and Ervin Santana among others.<\/p>\n<p>Santana has been outstanding in his first three starts for the Twins so his outing against Cleveland will be worth watching to see if he can keep that run going.<\/p>\n<p>All times are listed in BST.
