Overview

  • The Red Sox (53-45) enter Friday’s opener at Wrigley Field riding a 10-game win streak, their longest since 2018’s late-season run and coming off a four-game sweep of the Rays.
  • Lucas Giolito, who has posted a 0.70 ERA and 37 strikeouts over six starts since early June, will oppose Colin Rea, who has won three straight outings and allowed just four runs in 18⅔ July innings.
  • Chicago has gone 30-16 at home and leads the NL Central, leaning on a potent lineup that has scored at least five runs in 41 victories this season.
  • Boston’s offense has surged to a 33-11 record in games with five or more runs even as the team struggles to a 21-25 mark away from Fenway.
  • BetMGM lists the Cubs as 138-point favorites with an 8½-run over/under for Friday’s series opener, marking the first head-to-head matchup of the season.
