I'm sure the Red Sox did not want to see the All-Star break come up when it did. The Sox closed out the first half with 10 straight wins, as they head to Chicago to take on the Cubs. The Cubs lead the NL Central and will face Lucas Giolito. Giolito was a top-of-the-rotation pitcher for the White Sox and seems to be regaining his form after injuries. Giolito has been impressive on the road, where he is 3-0 with a 1.95 ERA. The Cubs will counter with Colin Rea, who is 7-3 on the season with a 3.91 ERA.. Rea went through a rough 5-game stretch, allowing 25 earned runs, but has since gotten back on track, allowing just four runs in his last three starts and nine total hits. Sometimes it's hard for hitters to get back in the groove after several days off. I like the UNDER in this one.
