So, the Sox and Yankees are all tied up for the top spot in the AL East. Truthfully it really doesn't matter all that much as their isn't a wild card team close to these two teams, but still anytime you can win the division it's kind of special.
Tonight we get Lester vs. Colon. Colon has been one of the biggest surprised in the MLB this season. Colon, though, has won his last two starts and has a 2.45 ERA over his past three. Overall he is 8-6 with a 3.30 ERA. Lester meanwhile is having another stellar season with an 11-4 record with a 3.17 ERA. The left-hander has won five straight outings against the Yankees, posting a 2.51 ERA, which is pretty damn impressive against such a great offense.
The Sox didn't play very well against the Indians, but they have had problems with them all year (no idea why), but they have played well against the Yankees this year (8-1). I think it continues tonight with their ace on the hill.
Red Sox win 7-2
Player of the Game: Lester
Game starts 7:10pm
