Red Sox vs White Sox Prediction 

Boston comes into this game continuing to struggle offensively and they have scored two runs or fewer in four of their last five games. The Red Sox will now have to face Martin Perez, who has been fantastic so far this year and has allowed one earned run and four hits in 12.1 innings this season. Chicago only has three wins on the year, but they erupted for 11 runs on Friday and will face Fitts, who did allow four walks last time out, but has been decent. I think we are going to see a lower scoring game here, as Perez continues to deal, so give me the under here.
