Chicago White Sox vs Boston Red Sox Prediction 

Boston was able to snap their losing streak with a nice win on Friday night and they will go for two in a row here. The Red Sox don’t play their best baseball at home, but the White Sox are just 14-56 on the road this year. Chicago does have Crochet on the mound for this game, but he is on a pitch count and has not been nearly as good as he was earlier in the season. I don’t love Criswell on the mound for the Red Sox, but I am certainly not taking the White Sox on the road. Take Boston to win by at least two runs here. 

David Racey's Pick: Red Sox -1.5
