Boston has won five straight and have taken a three-game lead in the AL East after its 4-1 win over the White Sox on Saturday night as Andrew Benintendi and Jackie Bradley, Jr. each hit two-run homers. Chicago is firmly in last place in the AL Central and has lost five in a row. Its road record is 20-38 while the Red Sox are 35-20 at home. Mike Pelfrey was released by the Tigers earlier in the season and hasn't done much better with the White Sox as they have lost his last six starts. Pelfrey has been touched for 11 runs and 13 hits in 10 2/3 innings his last two outings against the Cubs and Blue Jays, and overall he is 3-9 with a 5.04 ERA. Doug Fister comes off his best outing of the year in a 6-2 win over the Indians when he allowed just two runs on five hits in 7 2/3 innings. Look for Boston's winning streak to continue. Play the Red Sox.
