Red Sox minus 1 1/2 runs minus $1.05 (run line) hosting White Sox
Neither team is playing well. Boston is at least mediocre. The White Sox are just plain terrible, especially on the road where they are 28-50.
I see a kill spot here for the Red Sox with prideful Chris Sale getting the start. The former White Sox ace has endured another injury-plagued season. But Sale is building up his endurance. He looked very good in his last outing this past Saturday, giving up one run on two hits and two walks while striking out 10 in six-plus innings against the Blue Jays.
The White Sox are going with Touki Toussaint. At one time I thought he might turn into a good pitcher. It hasn’t happened. Toussiant is 4-7 with a 5.40 ERA. He has a 5.79 lifetime ERA against the Red Sox.
Look for the Red Sox to take their frustrations out on the White Sox and beat them by multiple runs.
