Red Sox vs White Sox Prediction
The White Sox have been a team I’ve blindly backed all season, and it’s paid off. I wouldn’t talk you off the ledge if looking at the White Sox here as well. However, we’ve been at the point where you should continue backing the Red Sox until they cool off. The Red Sox have lost just 5 games since June 25, and they keep getting these soft prices. I say keep backing the Red Sox until the tickets stop cashing, as they’re the hottest thing smoking in the sport.
