Shane’s Free Pick
Sale looked good in his last start and the White Sox’s offense is a big issue. White Sox are going to really struggle to get any sort of type of offense going here and they won’t finish with more than two runs. Look for the Red Sox to run up the score here, and they are going to get the job done. Back the Red Sox on the run line.
