The Boston Red Sox have lost five of their past seven and three straight against the Chicago White Sox. I doubt they'll let the White Sox complete the sweep though facing the struggling James Shields on the mound today.

Shields (2-9, 6.28 ERA) has been a huge disappointment for Chicago since coming over from the Padres. In his first four starts for the team, Shields has allowed 32 hits, 31 earned runs and seven home runs, all while logging just a total of 9 1/3 total innings. He figures to be lit up today as well as he's 2-9 with a 5.42 ERA in 13 starts at Fenway Park.

Boston turns to Rick Porcello (8-2, 3.76) who is coming off a solid outing when he held the Mariners to a pair of runs through six innings of a 6-2 win. Porcello is 10-8 with a 4.09 ERA in 21 career starts against the White Sox, and while several White Sox hitters have decent numbers against him I expect the run support he'll receive to be enough for a Boston win.

Red Sox are 6-0 in Porcello's six home starts this year, and the 27 year old has been credited with the decision each time behind a 3.03 ERA.
