The Red Sox return to Chicago for the first time since getting swept out
of the first round of the playoffs last year. They run into a White Sox team that has been great at home all year and will likely be favored on
the Sportsbook regardless of the pitching matchups, posting the best home
record in the majors. Jose Contreras, Mark Buerhle and Freddy Garcia all
posted wins against Boston in the playoffs last year, but Contreras was
the only one of the three to win a regular season game vs. Boston, which
won the season series 4-3. With the White Sox and Detroit looking likely
to grab two of four playoff spots, this series is huge for the Red Sox.
Contreras continues to be a good bet , setting a team record for
consecutive wins.
