Red Sox are 5-0 against the Angels this year, and with Weaver out of the way there is a good shot that they can continue this streak especially with Lester on the mound. So far Lester has been his "ace" self going 3-1 with a 2.52 ERA. He has also enjoyed some success against the Angels winning his last two starts with a 0.64 ERA and 13 strikeouts in 14 innings.
The problem is the guy he is going against is no slouch. Haren has been unhittable this year going 4-1 with a 1.23 ERA. I guess we can take some solace in the fact he is a left hander and is only 1-4 at Fenway.
Boston did a good job last night of wearing out Weaver, they need to do the same tonight if they want to beat Haren. I have no faith in the Angels bullpen so getting Haren out early would go a long way to winning this game. I think they get it done.
Red Sox win 5-3
