White Sox at Red Sox 6/24/19 - MLB Picks & Predictions

In Monday night MLB action, the Chicago White Sox will invade Fenway Park to battle the Boston Red Sox. On Sunday, Chicago’s late rally fell short during a 7-4 road loss against Texas. SP Ivan Nova gave up five runs in six innings and took the loss for the White Sox, who are three games below .500 overall.

Twenty-four year old righty Lucas Giolito (10-2 2.74 ERA) is living up to his tremendous potential for the White Sox. Giolito is a lock for his first All-Star nod and ranks fourth in the American League with a 1.04 WHIP. One of the biggest surprises as we reach the midway point of the MLB season is that the Boston Red Sox are a game below .500 at home. On Sunday, Boston did not scratch a run until the ninth inning of a disappointing 6-1 home loss versus Toronto. Mookie Betts collected two hits in a losing effort for the Red Sox, who trail New York by eight games for first place.

Talented left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (8-4 4.71 ERA) will get the start for the Red Sox in this matchup. Rodriguez has won four of his previous five starts and has allowed 12 runs over his last 31 plus frames.
