Boston Red Sox at Los Angeles Angels (+100, 8)
Starting the playoffs on the right foot is a task the Los Angeles Angels have avoided in the last decade. The Halos are 0-4 in Game 1 of an ALDS going back to 2002, when they overcame an opening loss to roll all the way to a World Series title. They’ve been outscored 29-11 in Game 1s over this span.
In 2002, Los Angeles fell 8-5 to Roger Clemens and the New York Yankees in Game 1 of the ALDS. After missing the playoffs in 2003, the Angels dropped the 2004 postseason opener, 9-3, to Curt Schilling and the Boston Red Sox and were eventually swept in three games. The following year, they were stumped 4-2 by Mike Mussina and the Yankees at home in Game 1 of the ALDS.
The last two seasons, Los Angeles has lost both opening games of the Divisional Series to the Red Sox. And both times, Thursday’s starter John Lackey has been on the mound. In 2007, Lackey went six inning and gave up four runs – getting outpitched by Boston’s Josh Beckett, who put up a complete-game shutout.
Last year, Lackey pitched just under seven innings, giving up two earned runs and one home run. But again he was outdone by the Red Sox’s starter, Jon Lester, who went seven shutout innings and gave Boston its first win of a four-game series victory.
Lackey and Lester face off again in Anaheim Thursday night. And if history has anything to say about it, Boston should be up 1-0 heading into Friday’s Game 2.
Pick: Boston -110
