If Sale can just get some run support, the Sox should be able to win Game 1 today.
This made me think twice:
"Sale has never won against Baltimore, posting a 0-2 mark with a 5.06 ERA in nine career games – three starts."

Sale (3-2, 4.21 ERA) likely would have started the finale of that three-game series, but instead had his outing pushed back. He's gone 0-2 with a 5.06 ERA -- his highest against any AL opponent -- in three career starts versus Baltimore.
The three-time All-Star has gone eight innings in each of his last three outings while striking out 28. However, he only has one victory in his past six while receiving 15 runs of support, though Sale also has been inconsistent. He has his highest ERA this deep into a season since becoming a starter in 2012.
Sale allowed four runs -- three earned -- and a season-high two homers in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Minnesota.
"Main focus is keep the ball down," he told MLB's official website. "Mix in fastballs, offspeed stuff, just try to find my own tempo while I'm trying to screw up them a little bit."
Sale can become the first White Sox pitcher to go at least eight innings in four straight starts since Mark Buehrle in June 2008.
