Red Sox Bury White Sox 14-2, Cash Our Ticket in a Laugher

The Red Sox didn't just cover the -132 line—they obliterated Chicago 14-2 in a Fenway beatdown that was never remotely competitive. Our handicap leaned heavily on Boston's pitching edge and their season-series stranglehold, and both showed up in force. Patrick Sandoval may not have pitched a Maddux, but he gave the Sox exactly what they needed while the offense did the rest, piling up runs like they were going out of style.

Chicago's vaunted road splits—that 5-3 record with a stingy 2.38 runs-against—got torched the moment they stepped into Fenway. Turns out playing the Red Sox isn't quite the same as padding stats against bottom-feeders. Davis Martin got shelled, the bullpen offered no relief, and the White Sox offense managed a measly two runs against a Boston staff that's been lights-out all series.

This one was over by the fifth inning. Boston extended their win streak to six, improved to 4-0 against the Pale Hose this season, and validated every data point we threw at you. The 0.30 ERA edge, the dominant series history, the home-field juice—it all crystallized into a stress-free winner. Sometimes the model just nails it, and this was one of those nights. Fade the White Sox at Fenway at your own peril.
