Rick Porcello starts the series off for Boston, he faces Chicago’s Lucas Giolito. Porcello is making his 28th start of the season, and it has been an up and down season for him. Although he started out strong, Porcello has struggled over the past 6 weeks with a 4-4 record and 5.72 ERA.

On the mound for the White Sox is another workhorse. Lucas Giolito is making his 27th start of the season, impressive given he’s only 24 years old. Giolito has struggled with command this season, but has seemed to tighten things up as of late. With 64 walks in his first 20 starts, Giolito has only walked 11 batter in his last six starts.

Prediction: Win

The Red Sox getting swept by the Rays may have been the wake up call they needed. Boston won their last two games before the start of this road trip, scoring 22 runs in those two games. Expect this one to be a high scoring affair, Boston loves giving Porcello run support.
