LESTER AND RED SOX WILL GET SECOND WIN IN A ROW

Well, I was right on a majority of my predictions yesterday.  I'm feeling pretty good about tonight's game as well.

Jon Lester is on the mound for the Red Sox.  While he did settle down in his last start, giving up 7 earned runs is not something he does very often.  What he does do often is bounce back from a rough outing.  Tonight will be one of those bounce back nights for Lester.  I think a strong outing by Lester is for once going to be coupled by some scoring by the Red Sox.  Although he hasn't factored into the offense since 2010, I wouldn't be surprise to see Lester help himself today.  It may not be a run or an RBI, but he may move some guys over and put them in position to score.  Getting guys to 2nd and 3rd could be the difference between winning or losing today, so if given the opportunity to move guys over, Farrell needs to go for it. 

Aaron Harang wil be on the mound for the Braves tonight.  Although Harang has more air outs than ground outs, he has only given up 2 home runs this season.
