Annual Patriots' Day game, so we have to play something with the rare MLB a.m. first pitch. I expect the Red Sox to be pretty motivated today to avoid a four-game home split against a bad Pale Hose club. A couple of Chicago regulars are out in the getaway game. Boston pitcher Walker Buehler has been solid in B2B outings after a bit of an uneven start to his Red Sox career. Essentially no White Sox have seen him, so that should be a benefit early on. Counterpart Jonathan Cannon has a 9.00 ERA in two road outings.

It's Patriots' Day and that's a game that means more than the rest of the regular season for the Red Sox. They play the awful White Sox and starter Jonathan Cannon, who has a career 5.69 ERA. Red Sox starter Walker Buehler has been much better in his last two starts, too. The most likely outcome here is a comfortable Red Sox victory.
