But which hurler will reign supreme in the wins department?
Beckett led the trio in wins last summer with 17, followed by Lester at 15. Lackey was limited to just 11 wins for the Angels but had five fewer starts (27) than both Lester and Beckett (32 apiece).
So far, it's Beckett with the early lead at one win. Lackey, who pitches Wednesday in Minnesota, had the strongest first start (three hits, no runs over 6 innings) but was plagued with a lack of run support in his 3-1 loss to the Yankees last week. Lester has been shaky out of the gate as he sits at 0-2 with a 7.20 ERA in just 10 innings pitched.
If healthy, this group can combine for nearly 100 of the club's 162 games this summer. Once this bullpen and offense come around, there's no telling as to how many of these starts will translate into wins.
