Randy’s Pick

I'm not running to the window to back either of these losing teams that have nothing to play for but give me the Red Sox if forced to pick. The Red Sox are at least at home and Nick Pivetta is on the mound. Pivetta has been hit or miss overall this season, but he's been a strikeout machine, which includes 26 strikeouts in his last 19.1 innings. The White Sox offense isn't scaring anybody, and facing a guy who can miss bats like that should result in a low scoring contest for them. Give me the Red Sox.

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
