Chicago at Boston

The Chicago White Sox, for the second straight season, have dumped some veteran players with big contracts for lots of prospects. It is going to take some time, but this team is looking at a brighter future. Unfortunately, that future does not include the rest of 2017. The Pale Hose are an ugly 4-20 over their last 24 games, sinking to 24 games under .500. The pitching has been brutal as over the 24 game stretch they have allowed an average of 6.21 runs per game. That is tough news vs. a Boston team that has had an offensive infusion with veteran pick-up Nunez, and rookie sensation Devers. The Red Sox, averaging just shy of eight runs a game over their last five games, have a huge edge here. Make the play on Boston.
