ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’ll take a stab on the Sox. This one’s really going to come down to starting pitching performance, so I could go either way. Lynn is 1-1 in his last three starts with a combined 11 earned in 18.2 innings. As for Berrios, he’s 1-2 over his most recent trio with 11 earned in 16.0 innings. In the Tuesday game, Chicago didn’t really have much of a presence outside of the sixth inning, but I think the Sox have a shot.
