They scored 33 runs in their last series averaging just over 8 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 18 runs against them averaging just over 4 runs allowed per game.

 

The White Sox are coming into this game with a 21-20 record overall and they are 12-10 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 3 of their last 4 games and are coming into this one on a 2 game winning streak. They just won their 3-game series against the New York Yankees 2-1, had Monday off as a rest day, and they are playing the series opener of a 3-game series with the Red Sox on Tuesday.

He is 4-1 with a 3.09 ERA this season. His team won 4 of their last 5 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 0 earned runs, 0 homers, and 2 BB with 9 strikeouts on 7 hits in 5.2 innings played against the Kansas City Royals. They scored 13 runs in their last series averaging just over 4 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 8 runs against them averaging just under 3 runs allowed per game.

 

The Red Sox are coming into this game as an underdog with the current betting odds. The Red Sox have had a rough start to their season but they have been playing much better in their recent games as they have won 8 of their last 10. They are going up against a White Sox team that just won their last series against the Yankees but that was a revenge series for them as they had lost their one prior to that against the Yankees. The White Sox have Cease on the mound and he has been alright this season but the White Sox have been struggling in their bullpen and could blow this game at any time. The Red Sox have been hitting the ball very well recently, scoring a lot of runs in their games and they have finally been heating up after a very slow start. The Red Sox are starting to roll and they have Pivetta starting here who has not been great this season but has been pitching much better in his last few starts. The best bet here is on the Red Sox to win this game and keep rolling with the way they have been hitting.
