The Red Sox should be angry for this one as they saw ace reliever Jonathon Papelbon surrender three runs in the ninth in game one, then Brad Penny allowed five in the first that did them in last night. Tonight should be a different story with Jon Lester on the mound. Lester, after a slow start, has been brilliant as he has allowed three runs or less in 10 straight starts. During that time the Sox are 8-2, and he has pitched to a 2.00 ERA over the 10 games. The Red Sox are 112-30 as a home favorite of -201 or higher in their last 142 at Fenway. The A's are carrying a 3-13 mark in their last 16 after scoring five runs or more in their previous game. I'm looking for a big Sox win today, and will back them on the runline.

5 units on Boston -1.5 runs -170 (runline) (risk 5 to return 5)
