It’s been a long season for the Angel’s Scott Kazmir. He comes into this matchup with a 6.25 ERA on the road for the season. In his last three starts against the Red Sox he’s allowed 15 earned runs in just 15.1 innings of work. He’s lost his ability to strikeout the opposition and he’s been wild all season. The Angels have dropped 5 of his last 6 starts. Boston received a bit of good new yesterday as Dustin Pedroia returned to the lineup. He’s a spark plug of a player and a big key in their success. Former Angel John Lackey takes the mound tonight and he has been at his best against his former team. In two starts he’s permitted just 3 earned runs in 14.1 innings of work. He allowed just 12 baserunners in those games as Boston came out on top in each time. Boston has won all eight meetings between these two this season and their dominance continues on Wednesday.
