The Red Sox big right hander Jon Lester cannot lose. He's been pitching out of his mind of late. Jon Lester hasn't given up more than 4 ERs since May 26th. With an offense like the Red Sox have knowing you only have to score five runs to win a game is a great feeling.
Lester takes the mound for the first game in the Tampa Bay series and I know since I decided to write this article on Lester that he will undoubtedly give up eight runs over three and third.
Tonight's matchup: LHP JON LESTER BOS vs. RHP ANDY SONNANSTINE
The Red Sox and the Rays appear to be headed in totally different directions. The Rays have decided to send their ace to the Angels for basically nothing, and they're going to try to win the wild card with the likes of prospect Wade Davis, Sonnanstine, Price, Garza, Niemann, and Shields. Other than tomorrow nights Garza vs. Beckett matchup I'm not too worried about Tampa. They're going to be playing some very tough teams down the stretch and the Red Sox are starting to click at the perfect time.
Look for tonights game to be a close game with Jon Lester throwing in another quality start. I expect Lester's line to be something like 7 IP 5 H 3ER 8K's 3BB
J.D. Drew should play a big role in deciding tonight's matchup. A win will put Boston well on their way to securing the Wild Card.
