At 4:05 pm, our complimentary selection is on the Boston Red Sox and San Francisco Giants ‘over’ the total of 6.5 runs. After a slow start (0-2 with a 8.44 ERA in his first three trips to the mound), lefthander Jon Lester has really turned things around and is now one of the best southpaws in the American League as many people predicted he would be to start the season. It hasn’t hurt that the Boston bats have come around and scored at least five runs in eight of his 10 starts since the beginning of May. In fact, since his start on May 4, Lester is 7-1 and the Red Sox are 7-3 in his 10 outings. Both he and San Francisco’s Tim Lincecum should make the All Star team in two weeks. The Giants’ righthander almost certainly won’t win his third Cy Young award, but he’s still having an All Star-caliber season and like Lester, Lincecum has eight wins on the season and also owes much of his success to his team’s bats showing up when he steps to the mound. The Giants have scored five or more runs in 10 of his 15 starts and 10 of those 15 games have also gone a total of eight or more runs. Lester isn’t far behind as nine of 15 starts have also gone a total of eight or more. Take the ‘over.’ As always, good luck…Al McMordie.
