The prediction for this matchup is that the Boston Red Sox will win and cover the -1.5 run line. Here are the reasons:
First, Tanner Houck has been outstanding this season with a 1.85 ERA and a 5-5 record. His consistency and ability to dominate hitters give the Red Sox a significant edge on the mound.
Second, the Red Sox have a balanced and potent lineup, led by Rafael Devers, who has been hitting for both power and average. The team's overall offensive metrics are superior to the struggling White Sox.
Third, the White Sox have been in a severe slump, losing their last 13 games. Their pitching has been particularly problematic, with Jake Woodford's 6.23 ERA indicative of the challenges they face.
Additionally, the Red Sox have shown better form on the road and have the depth to exploit the White Sox's weaknesses both offensively and defensively.
