Result: Loss
Money Line: -175.00 Boston (Away)
Result: Loss
The set-up: Boston's bats have finally "come alive" after a three-game sweep of the visiting A's and I think they'll carry that momentum over here in the opener of a seven game road trip. Boston goes with veteran David Price, while the home side counters with Lucas Giolito on the mound.
The pitchers: Price (1-2, 3.60 ERA) has turned the corner like his team over the last couple of weeks, going at least five innings over his past three starts, allowing no more than two runs in each. In his last outing vs. the Rays he gave up two runs over six innings to go along with seven K's. In 15 career starts he's 6-5 with a 3.39 ERA vs. the White Sox.
Giolito (2-1, 5.30) hasn't pitched since mid April after sustaining a groin injury. Clearly this is a difficult vs. matchup facing the suddenly surging Red Sox.
The pick: The White Sox have been decent, but I think Boston's recent form, coupled with Price's consistency make the visitors well worth the price of admission in this matchup. Lay the price.
