Red Sox vs. Cubs: The Unseen Bet That Could Change the Game Tonight
The Red Sox probably didn’t want to see the All-Star Break happen. They finally were on the run that I mentioned they couldn’t seem to find this season. The team had all of the pieces, the numbers all looked good, but they spent much of the year floundering around that .500 mark, unable to really separate themselves one way or another. Sometimes you have to hold on for dear life and just hope that you can manage your way into a hot streak. That’s what Boston did. They are currently on a 10-game winning streak, and have won 12 of 13, and 13 of their last 14 games. Today they send out a guy who has struggled a bit at times, but since turned it around in Lucas Giolito. Overall, Giolito is 6-1 with a 3.36 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP. He has been great away from Fenway as well, allowing just eight earned runs over 37 innings, spanning six starts. In July he has been very locked in, allowing just one earned run in two starts, covering almost 14 innings. Cubs hitters have been good, but not great, against him, getting eight hits in 34 tries.ÂÂ
