This is the rubber game if the 3-game series, as the White Sox won Game 1 and the Red Sox won Game 2. The White Sox have won 4 of their last 6 games and they are tied with the Detroit Tigers on top of the AL Central. The Red Sox have not gotten off to a great start this season and the defending champions are in the basement of the AL East 3 games back of the New York Yankees.
Last season the Red Sox ranked #1 in the Majors in runs scored, but this season they only rank 24th in runs scored and in their last 7 games are only batting .172 as a team.
On the other side of the coin the White Sox have scored the most runs in the bigs so far on the season and their offense is key since their pitching has struggled so far this season only ranking 28th in the league in team ERA.
Jon Lester (1-2 2.57 ERA) gets the start for the Red Sox tonight and in his last start he gave up 2earned runs in 6 innings of work in a win over the Yankees.
