Miller/Lester starting vs Yankees?

[BecKett]

Right now, the starters against the Yankees would be Lackey, Beckett, and Miller. I know there was speculation of sliding Lester in on Thursday since he would be on normal rest due to the off day Monday. Any word on this?

Tito should go with his best men available and set a Beckett/Lester/Bedard rotation the next coming series against them, considering how tightly has been the lead of the AL East.

Doesn't make a difference. The Sox can beat the tigers. The Sox can beat the Rangers. The Sox can beat the Yankees. Rest the starters.

I'd be fine whichever way Tito decides to go. I'd almost rather see Miller pitch Thursday then I'd get to see Lester pitch on Saturday at Fenway. Never had the opportunity to see him pitch in person before.

Absolutely. it depends on whether Tito is in his ho-hum regular season or hey this is the playoffs mood.
