Boston's Beckett eyes win No. 13 vs. White Sox

Baseball Betting Lines

07/20/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Josh Beckett tries to become the second 13-game winner in the majors this evening when the Boston Red Sox continue their four-game series with the Chicago White Sox at Fenway Park.

Beckett has dropped two of his last three starts, but with a victory tonight he will tie Cleveland left-hander C.C. Sabathia for the league lead in wins. Beckett was the hard-luck loser on Sunday against Toronto, as he surrendered a pair of runs on seven hits in eight innings to fall to 12-3 this season to go along with a 3.35 earned run average.

The 27-year-old right-hander, who has won just once at home since May 29, has faced the White Sox only twice in his young career and is 1-0 against them with a 4.66 ERA.

Chicago will counter with Cuban right-hander Jose Contreras, who is a dismal 5-11 with a 5.32 ERA. Contreras dropped his fourth straight start and fell for the seventh time in his last eight decisions on Sunday in Baltimore, as the Orioles battered him for five runs and 10 hits in six innings.

Contreras is 3-4 lifetime against the Red Sox with an 8.56 ERA in nine games, eight of which have been starts.

In a soggy opener to this set on Thursday, A.J. Pierzynski had three hits and knocked in three runs, and Paul Konerko homered, as the White Sox rolled to a 4-2 win in a game that started nearly two hours late due to rain.

Javier Vazquez (7-5) scattered nine hits and surrendered two runs over 6 1/3 innings to win his fourth straight decision. Bobby Jenks threw the ninth inning for his 26th save, as Chicago won for the third time four games following a three-game skid.

Dustin Pedroia had three hits and knocked in a run for the Red Sox, who have lost three in a row and eight of 11.

Daisuke Matsuzaka (11-7) was lifted after giving up two hits and three runs with a career-high six walks and six strikeouts in five-plus innings.

This is the first series of the season between these teams, but Boston is 12-8 in the matchup since the start of the 2004 campaign. The White Sox have also struggled in Beantown, where they have won just three times in their last seven visits.
