ALDS: Red Sox vs. Angels -- probable starters

Game 1: Lester vs. Lackey at Anaheim Wed., 10:00 p.m. (TBS) The lefty, Jon Lester, gets the nod in Game 1 because of Josh Beckett's injury, but he's been pitching like an ace for much of the season. He faces John Lackey, whom the Red Sox have pounded over the years. However, Lackey seems to have put it together when facing the Sox this season, beating them twice.
