Way to look confident, A.J.

I don't like having to count on Burnett to rebound from a loss, especially against a pitcher like Jon Lester, but I do expect A.J., at some point, to return to his pre-2009 dominance of the Sox.

The only Yankee with good numbers against Lester is A-Rod (.982 OPS), while several Bostonians hit Burnett well: Cameron, Ortiz and Pedroia in particular.
