Doubront Versus Pettitte

2 lefties start the 3-game series between the Yankees & Red Sox. It's an improved Felix Doubront against an aging Andy Pettitte. If Doubront continues his recent hot streak of going 7 or 8 innings with 3 runs or less, the Sox should have enough right-handed firepower among Jonny Gomes, Pedey, Napoli, Nava & Iglesias to rough up Pettitte. Game 2 features the best pitchers of each team - Lackey versus Kuroda. To me game 2 is the big game. The Sox need to find a way to scratch out 1 more run than the pinstripers on Saturday. Game 3 features 2 more lefties who are not having their best years - Lester versus Sabathia. I still like the Red Sox to take 2 out of 3 at home.
