Pregame notes: Who has the better lineup here?

The White Sox feel that Davis Martin has largely addressed the pitch-tipping that plagued him during his first inning against the Red Sox, so now he can take on more of an age-old challenge. "When the fastball command is there, it's good," said pitching coach Zach Bove. "It kind of sets up everything, it gives them something they’ve got to honor rather than just the spin.
