Get Boston Red Sox vs Chicago White Sox predictions, picks, and odds for 6-6, plus MLB best bets and same-game parlay analysis.
Tanner Houck has been a revelation for the Red Sox this season, cutting back on his walks and looking like a model of efficiency. He gets a cushy matchup against the lowly White Sox to further boost his stature among baseball's elite arms.
It’s a quick turnaround for the Chicago White Sox after losing 7-6 to the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday night. The Pale Hose return home to face the Boston Red Sox looking to snap a 13-game losing skid that’s kept them in the MLB basement. Boston sends breakout starter Tanner Houck to toe the rubber, and he headlines my Red Sox vs. White Sox predictions.Chicago White SoxHouck has averaged 96 pitchers per start this season, and he’s recorded 17 or more outs in five of his past nine trips to the bump. His 1.85 ERA ranks third among qualified starters, and Houck has backed it up with an eighth-ranked 2.89 xFIP across 78 innings — the 10th most in the majors.
In addition to an improved pitch mix, Houck has also cut down on his free passes, which has helped him pitch deeper into games. His walk rate is down to 4.8% from an 8.9% mark last year, and the White Sox are fourth last with a 7.3% walk rate against righties. Of course, it also helps that the White Sox have multiple everyday players injured, and Houck holds the platoon advantage over a heavy right-handed hitting lineup, sporting a nasty 2.48 xFIP and 25.9% strikeout-to-walk rate against hand-handed lumber this season.Considering the Red Sox are -150 on the -1.5 run line at bet365, betting Houck to record the win is an alternative correlated leg to provide longer odds for this same-game parlay.
