Join me now for game one of the weekend series with the Yankees. Lester against Colon with their teams holding identical records atop the AL East. It really doesn’t get any better than this, at least not in August. Lester has dominated the Yankees throughout his career: 8-1 with a 3.56 ERA in 14 starts.
