Cubs Look to Break Red Sox's 10-Game Win Streak
SUFFOLK COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS, JUL 17 – The Red Sox's 10-game winning streak boosts them near the top of MLB power rankings and puts them three games behind the AL East leader, MLB experts say.
- The Boston Red Sox face the Chicago Cubs in Chicago on Saturday for their second meeting this season in an ongoing three-game series.
- This matchup follows the Red Sox's 10-game winning streak fueled by strong performances from young hitters and recent activation of key players off the injured list.
- The Red Sox hold a 53-46 overall record with a.431 team slugging percentage, while the Cubs lead the NL Central at 58-39 and excel when out-hitting opponents.
- Probable starters are Lucas Giolito for Boston, with a 6-1 record and 3.36 ERA, and Colin Rea for Chicago, who is 7-3 with a 3.91 ERA, with the Cubs favored at-138 on the betting line.
- The Red Sox's win streak and improving health put them near playoff contention, but their tough remaining schedule will challenge their postseason hopes before the July 31 trade deadline.
