Play: Chicago White Sox
Rating: 8*

The Chicago White Sox suffered a three-game sweep at the hands of the Tribe over the weekend, but they're in a position to return the favor to the Boston Red Sox tonight. I like the price we get on the White Sox with an elite left-hander on the mound.

Jose Quintana (5-7, 2.63 ERA) has never lost to Boston, going 3-0 with a 1.94 ERA in six career starts. He's faced them once already this season when he allowed just one run and four hits over eight innings on May 3. The White Sox have lost each of his last seven starts, despite good pitching from left-hander who has gotten just 10 runs of support during that span. I expect him to get more run support tonight.

The Red Sox will turn to a left-hander of their own in Eduardo Rodriguez (1-2, 6.97). The 23-year-old southpaw has allowed four or more earned runs in each his last three starts, lasting fewer than 5 2/3 innings each time. He was tagged with five runs on eight hits in just 4 1/3 innings of a 5-1 loss against the Orioles his last time out. He's walked nine versus 12 strikeouts in 20 2/3 innings of work this season, and his 1.60 WHIP is a major concern. We can note that the White Sox are 4-1 in their last five games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30.

Red Sox's season numbers against left-handers are impressive, but the current members are hitting just .194 over 103 at bats against Quintana.
