Boston's offense is #1 in runs scored and slugging, and second in on-base percentage. The Red Sox are on a 42-15 run, including 44-10 against a team with a winning percentage below .400. Lefty Eduardo Rodriguez (3.44 ERA) has been terrific on the road all season where batters are hitting .213
off him. He's back from a rehab assignment and has thrown great in the minors. Even if he can't throw many innings, the Red Sox have a deep and reliable bullpen. Meanwhile, Chicago is #21 in runs scored, #26 in on-base percentage, and #16 in slugging. The White Sox are awful at home (25-41), 19-39 against a left-handed starter, including 6-20 at home against a southpaw. And the Red Sox are 8-2 in the last 10 meetings. Go with Boston.
