Two of the best teams in the American League continue their series in Oakland tonight as the Red Sox take on the Athletics. Boston sends Daisuke Matsuzaka to the mound as he looks for his eighth win of the year. Oakland counters with left hander Lenny DiNardo. SBG Global reports that early wagers have the public taking the Athletics with a comeback of +140.

Dice K has not been sharp lately, giving up 10 hits and 11 runs over 11 and 2/3 innings but the Red Sox always seem to provide him with a lot of run support. This is his first ever appearance against Oakland. Matsuzaka is 4-1 on the road this season with an ERA of 3.77

DiNardo gets the start for Oakland tonight. He was the long man in the bullpen but has been given the start tonight. He gave up just four hits and two walks against the Rangers in his last outing. It was his first start since 2006 with Boston.
