The White Sox are coming into this game as a big favorite with the current betting odds. The White Sox have been starting to play much better in their recent games. They just won their last series against the Yankees and they have been both hitting the ball and pitching much better in their recent games. They are going up against a Red Sox team that has also been heating up in their recent games. The Red Sox have Hill on the mound here though and he has not been awful this season but he has not been great either. The White Sox have Giolitto starting here and he has been having a great season as he is one of the more reliable pitchers on the pitching staff for the White Sox. The White Sox are also at home here and will have a lot of confidence after the series they just put up against the Yankees. The best bet here is on the White Sox to win this game.
