White Sox vs Red Sox Prediction
Boston comes into this matchup looking to avoid being swept, but they have lost five of their last six games and they have scored two runs or fewer in all five of those losses. Chicago has half of their wins so far this season in this series and they will look for a very rare sweep here. The White Sox have had a decent start with their pitching staff this year and they are going with Smith, who has allowed two earned runs over 11.2 innings pitched. Boston is starting Crochet, who has allowed three earned runs over 18.2 innings this season. I think Crochet is the better pitcher in this matchup and I like Boston to cover the run line here.
