Game 1: Daisuke Matsuzaka
Game 2: Josh Beckett
Game 3: Jon Lester
Game 4: Tim Wakefield
Game 5: Matsuzaka
Game 6: Beckett
Game 7: Lester
Thoughts?
I think it’s the right rotation given the way that rest lined up for each person…at the same time, I would have rather (if rest weren’t an issue) gone Lester, DiceK, Beckett, Wake, Lester, DiceK, Beckett.
We saw vs. LAA how getting out in front of the series early can dictate the entire series. It’s on Daisuke to get us out of the gates fast.
