Boston Red Sox vs. Chicago White Sox Prediction
I’m on the Red Sox here. It’s a hefty price for a Red Sox team that hasn’t really shown anything in this series so far, but Crochet has been every bit as good as advertised for the BoSox. Shane Smith’s been solid as well, but I think in the later stages of the game, the Red Sox are more likely to have Crochet in the game and the Red Sox definitely have the edge in the bullpen so I’ll take the Red Sox on the road in this one to avoid the sweep and to salvage something from this series.
