    You want my analysis, OK.

    I believe Lester isn't completely washed up however at 36 his better days are long gone.
    He's smart, he knows how to locate pitches and get batters out.
    And just as important, he throws left, and as anyone who has ever hit a baseball at any level knows lefties are a totally different animal.
    By that I mean they come at you from strange angles.

    So, having briefly said that Lester can come up with a quality start today.

    Hey, Sammy, sometimes I can only offer up dry stats to some threads as writing analysis takes time.
    I maintain a blog, I write up my own threads here, all time consuming so I can't always offer up 5 paragraphs.

    Now win some money today you half a hump 'ya.

    I would bet on him in the postseason rather than the regular season at this point in his career.
