Boston has scored 38 runs in the last few games. Nick Pivetta has a 2-4 record and 4.22 ERA. Chicago will bring their red hot pitching inside their home ballpark. Dylan Cease will be eager to build off his fantastic 4-1 season record.

The Boston Red Sox are the hottest team in baseball. Trevor Story was receiving boos from his own fans at Fenway Park before he broke out of his slump. The team is ranked among the upper half of the league in hitting statistics. They are 15th in the majors with a .380 ERA and 10th with .225 batting average allowed. Pivetta is coming off one of best outings of this season, as he has only surrendered two earned runs in his previous 22 innings.

The White Sox are one game above .500 and are on a two-game winning streak. They beat the Yankees over the weekend. Tim Anderson is Chicago's best hitter, with a season average of .359. The team has a record of 21-20 and is 27th in the league in on-base percentage. Dylan Cease is a promising pitcher who has had at least eight punch outs in seven of his eight outings this season.

The Red Sox are 22-19 ATS and are in contention for the first-place spot in the division. Chicago is 21-24 AET and they are also in a tight race for first place.

The final Red Sox-White Sox pick is Red Sides +1.5 (-152).
