Here's some info: 
Daisuke Matsuzaka mastered the White Sox on Aug. 9, allowing one run on four hits in eight innings, and he's a sparkling 8-2 with a 3.28 ERA in 12 starts at home this season, erasing any memory of his so-so performance at Fenway Park as a rookie. He's a much better choice for success than the nicked-up Josh Beckett would have been
Matsuzaka's opponent, Javier Vazquez, isn't a great choice. Current Red Sox are a combined 66-for-225 (.293 BA) with 11 home runs and an .842 OPS against him in their careers.
-- Red Sox won three of their last four games. White Sox are 4-2 in their last six road games.
-- Six of last seven Boston games went over the total.
