Our Red Sox vs White Sox Pick: RED SOX

Boston has the advantage behind a stronger overall pitching staff, ranking among the top 10 in MLB in ERA while consistently limiting runs and baserunners. Rookie Brandon Bennett has been effective in limited action, posting a 3.13 ERA and a sub-1.00 WHIP, giving the Red Sox a slight edge over Davis Martin. Although the White Sox have been the more productive offense this season, Boston’s superior run prevention and more reliable pitching profile make the difference. With the stronger staff likely to control the game, the pick is Boston Red Sox.
