Red Sox at White Sox picks and predictions
Prediction
White Sox 7, Red Sox 6
Moneyline.
BET WHITE SOX (+138).
I feel like this game is a toss up especially with the Red Sox putting an opener out there. It’s almost like waiving the white flag and trying to get back on the plane to Boston.
I’ll take the plus-odds on Chicago, which has outscored the Red Sox 13-3 over the last 2 games.
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
I’m going to focus my bet on the moneyline and not worry about the run line.
Over/Under
BET OVER 9 (-110).
I see this game as a shootout. When you look at this pitching situation, it definitely sets up for a lot of offense. It definitely helps the Over cause when the White Sox allow MLB’s 2nd-most runs per game (5.31). The Red Sox are putting out a kid making his 1st career start and Boston has allowed 7 and 6 runs the last 2 games.
