White Sox vs. Red Sox: Key Matchups Ahead in MLB Playoffs

White Sox and Red Sox, both teams charging toward the postseason. White Sox getting Luis Castillo. Maybe Castillo ends up pitching one of these games this week. But as of right now, it's Martin, Burke, and Fetty. Those are the three starters scheduled. And the Red Sox have Cy Young candidate Sonny Gray, Ranger Suarez. Red Sox are going to be pretty big favorites, Tom, I would imagine, in two of these three games. And it's really going to be another spot for a team with a good litmus test. The White Sox struggled against the Rays, and they're going to try and salvage the series on Sunday. They have to go on the road against one of the hottest teams in baseball, or the hottest team in baseball. And you've got to say, OK, are the White Sox for real? Can they go on the road? Can they get two out of three in this series? And again, the Red Sox are coming off of a long-ish West Coast road trip, four against the Athletics, three against the Dodgers. So they're going to be coming off that high of winning those two series, especially against the Dodgers, and then go into home, maybe fall a little flat. This would be the chance for the White Sox to jump on them. I still see the Red Sox as by far the better team, even though they may not be full of the better team on paper. I think the Red Sox will be heavy favorites, as you mentioned, in all games.
