Home run power led the Chicago White Sox to a winning streak, and Chris Flexen (2-5, 5.19 ERA) will aim for his third win of the season. Flexen pitched well in his last game against the Cubs, delivering 5 innings with 3 hits and 1 run, though the bullpen squandered his win. However, his major weakness could be his poor performance in daytime games, with a record of 2 losses, an 8.00 ERA, and a .325 batting average against. In the previous game, the White Sox's lineup scored 6 runs including two home runs, showing remarkable concentration with seven consecutive batters reaching base in the fifth inning. Gavin Sheets, who hit a grand slam, appeared to fulfill his role after a long time. The bullpen, which pitched 4.2 innings without allowing a run, is now reliable at home.
Boston Red Sox, facing a losing streak due to a sudden slump from the starter, plans to use a bullpen day. Struggling Cutter Crawford is given an additional two days of rest to recover. It’s difficult to anticipate any special call-ups since Naoyuki Uwasawa pitched in AAA on the 7th. In the previous game, Boston's lineup failed to capitalize on Nastri's pitching, with Bobby Dalbec's solo home run being the only score as the team's hitting remained stagnant. Their failure to hit against the White Sox bullpen will likely be felt keenly. The silver lining was Chase Anderson's performance, pitching 3 innings with only 1 run allowed.
The White Sox are beginning to show their strength again. Given that Boston doesn’t currently have a strong pitcher to field, this game also holds hope for the White Sox. Conversely, Boston's lineup failed to adapt to Nastri's pitching in the previous game, with poor performance in scoring positions, managing only 1 hit in 11 attempts. Flexen's occasional strong performances at home could also be a factor in this game. The Chicago White Sox, with home advantage, are close to victory.
Projected Score: 6:5 Chicago White Sox win
Handicap: Chicago White Sox win
