A Prediction

Peter mentioned in my last post that he's nervous about tonight's game. Me, not so much. I have a really good feeling about Lester tonight. He has never faced the A's, so for the first few times through the lineup I think he will be absolutely dominant. When they begin to figure him out, he will do what he has become known to do and make pitches when he needs to, getting out of any jams unscathed. After the All-Star break, our players will be really excited to be back to playing, and I can sense an offensive explosion. Plus, the A's counter with a pitcher whose ERA is above 6, which is also nice.
