Jon Lester has thus far reversed his fortunes from a year ago, as he is 6-0 on the season, but the Red Sox are just 2-2 in his last four starts where he has been ordinary with a 3.47 ERA. The problem is in the pen, where Boston has just 10 saves and has already blown six. He will face a career nemesis in the Chicago White Sox tonight, a team that has solved his serves over his career. The Pale Hose have caused fits for Lester as he owns a career 5.30 ERA against them. Dylan Axelrod has mastered the Sox lineup with two runs allowed and 10 strikeouts in nine innings over two appearances. The Red Sox are just 2-5 behind Lester in his last seven starts following a game in which they scored 5+ runs. Play on Chicago.
