I hate the A's almost as much as i hate the dodgers, and i dont want to face them in the playoffs, i feel alot better with facing KC in the 1st round. But Like i said money is money and ill ride with the pitcher and team with the most experience, and lets face it Lester is a post season beast. its just to bad the A's held on just enough to squeak into the play-offs.
Lester went 4-1 in five starts last October, posting a 1.56 ERA with 29 strikeouts. He also owns a 2.11 career ERA in 76 2/3 postseason innings. Lester went a combined 3-0 in three starts against the Royals this season with the Red Sox and A’s.
