Starting Pitchers
Boston: Lester (0-0, 1.29 ERA)
Toronto: Romero (0-0, 7.20 ERA)
The Sox season hasn't gone to plan so far and are 1-4, in the early season we have pretty much seen every issue go pretty bad for the Sox. Luckily, we have our best pitcher on the mound today. Jon Lester probably would have been 1-0 if he didn't face Justin Verlander game 1.
Today Lester faces off against Ricky Romero, who is no slouch but hasn't had much success against Boston going 2-6 with an 8.08 ERA in his first 11 starts against the Red Sox before beating them twice during Boston's collapse in September. Lester on the other hand has been very good in Canada, he's 9-2 with a 2.71 ERA in 13 starts against the Blue Jays, going 5-0 with a 1.96 ERA in his last six in Toronto.
If that holds true the Sox should be gravy. Lester will pitch well and the offense will get going.
Sox win 5-1
Tommy Award: Jon Lester
