White Sox vs Red Sox Prediction
Chicago comes into this matchup looking to snap a losing streak, but they need to find more offense, as they have scored two runs or fewer in four of their last five games. Boston was able to avoid the four-game sweep on Thursday afternoon, but their offense is also struggling right now. Both of these pitchers have had plenty of issues early in this season, and I think this is exactly what both lineups need. I expect both teams to have a big day at the plate, and I like the over here.
