Boston is treading water at 10-10 in the highly competitive AL East, with recent back-to-back wins over Tampa Bay boosting their confidence. Offensively, they are batting .247 and have scored 86 runs this season.
The spotlight will be on Trevor Story, who’s coming off a two-home-run performance and could provide the spark Boston needs. On the mound, Hunter Dobbins is expected to start after allowing just two earned runs across five innings in his MLB debut.
The Red Sox have only averaged 2.8 runs per game in their last five, which raises questions about covering the run line (-1.5), but they still hold the upper hand with momentum and home-field advantage.
Betting On The Chicago White Sox
- 1XBet Spread: +2.5
- 1XBet Moneyline: 3.88
- 1XBet Over/Under: Under 8.5
The White Sox enter Saturday’s game at 4-15 overall and fresh off an 0-8 loss to the Oakland Athletics. They’ve lost four in a row and have struggled on both sides of the ball. Their 4.36 ERA ranks in the bottom 10 of the league, and the offense hasn’t done much to help either.
Martin Perez, Saturday’s starter, allowed two runs in 4.1 innings against Boston in their last meeting, a narrow 3-2 win. If he can replicate that form, Chicago could make it interesting, but their lack of run production remains a major concern.
MatchPlug Prediction For Boston Red Sox VS Chicago White Sox
Boston may not be blowing teams out, but with Trevor Story heating up and Dobbins showing early promise, they should have enough to edge out a struggling White Sox team.
Red Sox to win, but avoid run line.
Final Prediction: Red Sox, Over/Under
