Boston Red Sox at Chicago Cubs Prediction

Today’s game between Boston and Chicago features a pitching matchup of Josh Winckowski and Adrian Sampson. Between the two pitchers, they have appeared in just 7 games this season. However, I give the edge to Boston as I don’t see the Cubs’ offense putting up a performance like last night’s outing vs the Reds. I like the Red Sox on the moneyline.
