Pitching matchups:
Friday Jon Lester LHP (1-0, 4.26) Vs Horacio Ramirez LHP (6-3, 6.52)
Saturday Daisuke Matsuzaka, RHP (12-8, 3.75) vs Jarrod Washburn, LHP (8-7, 4.11)
Sunday Josh Beckett, RHP (13-5, 3.41) Vs Miguel Batista, RHP (11-7, 4.23) --- Day game.
Sunday's matchup looks like it could be very entertaining if Beckett can regain some form from earlier this season. Batista is pitching great baseball coming off a gem against the Angels in his last start.
Sox will be happy to win one of the three which will probably be the Saturday game as Dice-K is pitching very well despite losing a duel to Tampa Bay's Scott Kazmir last Sunday. Jarrod Washburn has been getting lit up of late going 0-1 in his last 4 starts while yielding 15 runs during the four games.
A Red Sox win on Friday is possible but Jon Lester is still an unknown commodity and Horacio Ramirez is very tuff to beat at Safeco. Hopefully for Red Sox fans they won't have to depend on a struggling Josh Beckett this Sunday to avoid a sweep.
