In this Red Sox vs White Sox Prediction, the Red Sox are coming as -120 road favorites. I am with the Red Sox in this one, as Tolle has been the far better pitching option than Schultz, who has given up 3+ runs in each of his last five starts. The Red Sox are better than the White Sox against southpaws, they also have the third-best bullpen in baseball and have been in excellent form with an 8-2 record in their last 10 games. Take the Red Sox to win on the road.
