Red Sox vs Rays is about to start at at 6:40 p.m. ET / 3:40 p.m. PT / 11:40 p.m. BST, today (Aug 4). Game 2 of the series has the same start time. Both games air on NESN and Fox Sports Sun.
The AL East's mid-card is almost up, with Red Sox vs Rays live streams tonight and tomorrow. The teams are convening at the Trop, but limping into this two game series thanks to getting routed by other AL East rivals over the past few days, with Bosting swept by the Yankees and Tampa Bay getting routed by the Orioles.
Today's pitching matchup sees Boston's Nathan Eovaldi start, and he's clearly one of the highlights in the Sox's lackluster season, going 1-0 (2.45 ERA, 8Ks, 11.0 IP). Tampa's got Charlie Morton (0-1, 8.00 ERA, 11Ks, 9IP) who is proving that strikeouts aren't everything.

This game feels like a tossup, since both teams aren't coming in with much in the way of confidence. Tomorrow (Aug. 5), we'll see Martin Pérez (1-1, 5.06 ERA, 7K) take the mound, and he's going up agains the Rays' Ryan Yarbrough, who's 1.54 ERA tilts that game in Tampa Bay's favor.

How to avoid Red Sox vs Rays blackouts with a VPN
OK, somehow you're travelling right now, or you've been hit by a dreaded local blackout -- and you can't watch Red Sox vs Rays. Live streams are still possible in your neck of the woods, with a virtual private network, or VPN, you can appear to be surfing the web from your home town (or somewhere that blackouts won't hit), and access the same streaming services you already paid for.
Not sure which VPN is right for you? We've tested many different services and our pick for the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN (opens in new tab). It offers superb speeds and excellent customer service. But you've got other VPN options as well. Here are our top picks.
