I'd be surprised and disappointed if the Bosox pitch Dice-K twice instead of Lester.

Billingsley is pitching game two no matter what.

Kershaw v Moyer would be the youngest and oldest active players starting against each other. I'm not sure that's ever happened in the regular season, much less the postseason.

5 - That's what everyone involved with the Dodgers has said, and Billingsley has been in the team's top two since April, and Kuroda has a better record at home than on the road.
