Jon Lester faces off against Tim Lincecum here and it should be a beauty. Lester owns a 3.03 ERA with an 8-3 record. Linceucm has been even better, posting a 2.86 ERA good for an 8-2 record. Over his last three starts, the reigning Cy Young award winner has gone an average of 7.3 innings per start, allowing only 4 earned runs and striking out 24. The Red Sox are without Dustin Pedroia (.491 with four HRs and 13 RBIs in last 14 games), making offense even harder to come by. As for the Giants, they have averaged only 3.9 runs per game this season vs. LHP and 3.8 per game in 14 inter-league games. In day-games this season, Boston is 22-10 UNDER and John Lester is 15-4 UNDER as a dog of up to +150. This one should be very low-scoring.
