Boston grabbed the first game of this series Tuesday night 16-3.

Boston won Tuesday as a +135 underdog on the dime line and the game roared over a total of seven runs. With Tuesday's win the Red Sox own a six-game winning streak.

Wednesday's Pitching Match-Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
<a class="advblue" href="https://www.sportsbettingstats.com/mlb/pitcherlog/79695&quot; title="Lucas Giolito Pitching Game Stats">Giolito</a>, by our strict standards, is just 1/6 on quality starts this season, although he's been pretty good his last couple times out. Last Wednesday he held Kansas City to two runs and seven hits through five innings, with two walks and seven strikeouts, although Chicago lost that game 6-2. And just before that he held Cleveland to one run through seven frames of a 4-1 White Sox victory. Chicago is only 2-4 with Giolito this season but that's not his fault. In his one start last year against Boston Giolito got bombed for eight runs - seven earned - and two home runs through just one inning of work in an 11-4 White Sox loss. <a class="advblue" href="https://www.sportsbettingstats.com/mlb/pitcherlog/39411&quot; title="Rich Hill Pitching Logs">Hill</a> is 1/7 on quality starts this year, pitching on a short leash. Last Thursday he gave up four runs and six hits through just two innings against Seattle, although the Red Sox won that game anyway 12-6. But over his four starts previous to that he allowed just three runs - two earned - and 13 hits through 19 innings. Boston is 4-3 with Hill this season and should probably be a game better. Hill's last start against the White Sox came back in 2020 when as a Twin he gave up two runs through 3 1/3 innings of an 8-5 Minnesota loss.
