Who should start a potential game three for the Red Sox?

"In his four starts since being called up, he hasn't looked like a rookie at all. Sometimes, simply throwing enough pitches is enough to get you through an outing, and Early has several. Here are his pitch movements from his last outing: There are six distinct shapes here, and he's been able to throw strikes with most of them. He doesn't need to give you seven shutout innings, either,"

"He also has a great pickoff move, and controlling the running game is big in the postseason. If you had told me in August that Connelly Early would be starting a must-win game, I'd be wondering how I wound up at an Early family reunion. But now, I'd give him the ball and feel okay about it. Pressure makes diamonds, baby!"

Lucas Giolito is unavailable for the Wild Card series because of an elbow injury, leaving the Red Sox a starter short. Connelly Early has made four starts since his call-up and has shown composed, multi-pitch effectiveness, able to throw strikes with six distinct pitch shapes and accumulate many pitches. Early can likely get through a Yankees lineup once or twice, plus he has a strong pickoff move to control the running game. Brayan Harrison is another option stretched out to start, but his cutter is the key pitch and he struggled to feature it and locate his fastball in his last outing.
