Chicago White Sox vs Boston Red Sox 5/24/22 MLB Picks, Predictions, Odds

The Boston Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox meet in MLB action from Guaranteed Rate Field on Tuesday night.

The Boston Red Sox will look to build on their current five-game win streak after an 8-4 win over Seattle last time out. Xander Bogaerts has 49 hits, a .325 batting average and 8 doubles while Rafael Devers has 57 hits with 15 doubles and Enrique Hernandez also has 13 doubles. Alex Verdugo has 3 home runs and 16 RBIs while Devers has a team-high 9 home runs and 24 RBIs and Hernandez also has 17 RBIs. J.D. Martinez also has 15 doubles, a .349 batting average and 20 RBIs this year and Trevor Story has a team-high 29 RBIs as well for Boston.

The Chicago White Sox will look to build on back-to-back wins after a 5-0 win over the Yankees last time out. Tim Anderson leads the White Sox with 52 hits including 5 home runs, 18 RBIs, 8 doubles and a .359 batting average while Luis Robert has a team-high 6 home runs while Gavin Sheets and Andrew Vaughn each have 4 home runs as well with Vaughn logging 14 RBIs and Jose Abreu chipping in 17 RBIs. Dylan Cease will start here and is 4-1 with a 3.09 ERA and 67 strikeouts this season.

Boston is 4-1 in their last 5 games as an underdog and 4-0 in their last 4 games following a win while the under is 4-1-1 in their last 6 games against the AL Central. Chicago is 9-3 in their last 12 games overall and 8-2 in their last 10 games against a team with a losing record while the under is 6-1 in their last 7 games against a team with a right-handed starter.

I get the reasoning for backing either side here, as the Red Sox tend to play better on the road. But I’m going with the White Sox here because Dylan Cease has been rock solid this year, especially at home, and I just don’t see any reason to back Nick Pivetta here. The White Sox are starting to come into their own after a rough patch last month, and I think we can get another Chicago victory here.
