Boston Red Sox (75-54) @ Los Angeles Dodgers

Dodger Stadium

GAME 1

Friday, 8/23. 7:10 PM. PRIME.

John Lackey

Lackey was dominant on Saturday, holding the Yankees to just one run over 6 2/3 innings and earning his eighth win of the season. He has a 1.89 ERA in 10 career games (nine starts) vs. the Dodgers.

vs.

Ricky Nolasco

Nolasco, who solidified the back end of the Dodgers' rotation, has gone 3-0 with a 2.82 ERA in his last four starts and is 4-1 since joining the Dodgers. He's 1-2 with an 8.16 ERA against Boston.

GAME 2

Saturday, 8/24. 1:05 PM. FOX.

John Lester

The power lefty will make his first career start at Dodger Stadium. Lester has been on a roll of late, going 3-1 with a 2.52 ERA since the All-Star break. Lester fired 8 1/3 shutout innings in his last start to beat the Giants.

Hyun-Jin Ryu

At 12-4 with a 2.95 ERA, Ryu is a pretty good No. 3 starter, not to mention a legitimate candidate for Rookie of the Year. He's coming off his first loss in two months, even though he pitched into the eighth inning.

GAME 3

Sunday, 8/25 PM. ESPN.

Jake Peavy

The righty has pitched well in his last two starts, giving up three runs over 11 2/3 innings. But he has just a loss and a no-decision to show for it. Peavy is 6-1 with a 3.08 ERA in six career starts at Dodger Stadium.

vs.

Chris Capuano

It hasn't always been pretty, but Capuano gives the Dodgers a crafty veteran fifth starter who hasn't lost a start since July 4. He has allowed 12 earned runs in his last 14 1/3 innings.

Looking forward to this series. A series win should be enough

Tardy on that poll as usual eh?

[DigglinDickers]

Let's do a Muammar Gaddafi on Peavy. I wills always remember when Peavy was pitching against us and he was yelling at Russell Martin to get back the batters box and struck his *** out.

There was another time when Peavy starting jawing and chirping at Mariano Duncan while he was walking off the mound and it caused the benches to clear. It occurred during the game when we homered four consecutive times.

^ I remember that game. Could never forget it.

Going to the Sunday Night game...to see Cap. Cool. I think the Dodgers are going to drop their first series in 2+ months. Hope for the best though! Should be a great series.

I wonder what the mix of Sox fans/ Dodger fans will be? (I know every time I went to an Bos/LAA game, Sox fans outnumberd the LAA fans....) Im guessing it might be even?

[grandsalami]

Also I think the dodgers are trying to kill us

#Dodgers to sell hot dog "covered in brown sugar baked beans with cubes of smoked pork belly" for #RedSox series. Is that your dog, Boston?

The Dodgers lead the league in fan attendance. Why would they be 50 percented by another fan base? Not gonna happen.

[MDI]

Kershaw is rollin. Ethier is rock solid, locked in at 5. Good debut by Brian Wilson. Vin is back. Great day for Dodger fans

Back end of the rotation going vs Boston next 3 games, gonna be tough. Lets see what they got. Hopefully another series win

[D Blue987]

I was so close on pulling the trigger, but was asked to work Saturday. I wanted to go tomorrow or later (Friday), but decided to go out instead. Sunday might be decided with a flip of a coin for me.
