Sean McAdam of the Boston Herald is reporting that Jon Lester will get the nod over Josh Becket as the Game 1 starter for the ALDS, expected to begin on October 8th althought the Red Sox manager Terry Francona hasn’t made an official announcement.
Sean McAdam speculates:
The way the Sox have laid out their pitching for the final week, Lester, who starts tonight in the opener of the Red Sox’ series in New York, will make his final start of the season Thursday against the Cleveland Indians. That would allow him a full six days’ rest before the projected start of the ALDS against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim on Oct. 8
Beckett, meanwhile, will pitch Monday against Toronto at Fenway, then have five days before starting Game 2 in Anaheim, Calif.
So Sean McAdam just figured this out on his own. Real good journalist Sean. This is why the Boston Herald sucks.
