Michael Kopech isn't just the White Sox's best pitching prospect. He's one of the top ones in all of baseball.

Kopech hasn't disappointed during his first two starts allowing just one run in eight innings. Now he draws the Red Sox at home.

The Sox are 11-5 in their last 16 games. That's the White Sox, who have compiled that record. The Red Sox actually have lost four of their past five road games.

Boston starter Nathan Eovaldi has been cold giving up four or more earned runs in three of his last four starts. Eovaldi has been tagged for nine earned runs on 18 hits during his last two starts spanning only 9 1/3 innings.

The Red Sox are down several players because of injury, including first baseman Mitch Moreland who isn't expected to play because of a sore knee.
