The Boston Red Sox are having a year to forget. They are currently in the basement of the AL East, after winning it all a year ago with pretty much the same cast of characters. The one thing this team has always done, however, is succeed against tough pitching. They own wins this season against Tanaka, Iwakuma, Hughes, Sanchez, Price, Sabathia, Buehrle, and even today's pitcher for the White Sox, Chris Sale, as good as he has been. Rubby De La Rosa has given the Sox rotation a boost as he is 2-1 with a 2.51 ERA on the season, and can certainly match Sale. The edge here goes to the back of Boston's pen which trumps what the White Sox can bring from out there late. Chicago is just 4-9 in Sale's last 13 road starts, and Boston is now 41-17 at home in their last 58 vs. a team with a losing road record. Go with Boston.
