Boston Red Sox vs Chicago White Sox Prediction

I’ll stick with Boston. Not touching it, though. Criswell has given up just two earned runs over his last three appearances in 12.0 combined innings. He hasn’t gone past 4.2 frames in any of those, though. As for Crochet, he’s coming off a loss to the Mets with 3.1 innings and one earned run.

On Friday the Red Sox had a couple of good innings and powered out the win, thanks in part to Ceddane Rafaela. The bullpen was great too, notching 3.0 innings, no earned, one hit, no walks, and one K. I’d imagine the Red Sox will keep it going in round two of the weekend Laundry Series.
