Red Sox at Astros lineup: Marching on

The Red Sox ended their scorching February with a win yesterday, thanks to a strong performance by the bullpen, and look to continue the magic into February when they visit the World Series champion Houston Astros today at 1:05 p.m. in West Palm Beach. The game will be on NESN — I’m sorry I haven’t been including the radio and TV broadcasts in these writes, but I’m still getting up to speed.

2016 American League Cy Young Award winner Rick Porcello will take the mound for the first time this winter, hoping to find that even-year magic, so to speak. Let’s all wish him well in the comments, for this is your gamethread. Here is the full lineup:

1. Mookie Betts, RF
2. Andrew Benintendi, LF
3. Hanley Ramirez, 1B
4. Rafael Devers, 3B
5. Jackie Bradley Jr., CF
6. Blake Swihart, DH
7. Christian Vazquez, C
8. Tzu-Wei Lin, 2B
9. Deven Marrero, SS

SP: Rick Porcello, RHP
