Chicago at Boston

Early in the season, there were a lot of red flags up concerning Boston's starter Chris Sale. Sale was shut down last season a couple of times, as his velocity dipped well below his career average. The same situation was seen early this season but his velocity has improved and so have the results. Chris Sale's first six starts this season saw opponents score 40 runs or 6.7 per contest but over his last 10 starts, and that is now down to 2.9. Chicago has lost four straight and is 2-7 over their last nine where they are allowing over six runs per contest. Boston is 10-3 in their last 13 games and a season-high seven games over .500 after a very slow start. Play Boston on the runline.
