For the third consecutive postseason, and fourth time in six Octobers, the Angels and Red Sox are matched against each other with Boston completely dominating the previous three ALDS (2004, 2007-08), winning nine of the 10 games played. The Sox will give the ball to lefty Jon Lester in tonight's opener while Mike Scioscia and the Halos pin their Game 1 hopes on the right arm of veteran John Lackey.
