You can bet the Astros-White Sox series where Game One had the Astros as a -126 road favorite here and Chicago at -116.
Houston is 1-7 in the last 8 meetings in Chicago while the UNDER is 7-1 in the last 8 meetings in Chicago and 10-3 in the White Sox last 13 home games.
Probable Starting Pitchers:
Tuesday - D.Keuchel (2-5, 5.58) C. Rodon (1-4, 4.99)
Wednesday – D. Fister (3-3, 4.22) M. Latos (5-0, 3.40)
Thursday – C. McHugh (4-3, 5.58) C. Sale (8-0, 1.67)
Tuesday – Dallas Keuchel is 2-2 with a 2.30 ERA in four career games versus the White Sox while Carlos Rodon went 1-0 with a 0.73 ERA in two starts against Houston last season.
With the UNDER trending in Chicago, TAKE THE UNDER 8 HERE
Wednesday – Doug Fister has allowed no more than 3 runs in his last five starts, pitching into the 6th inning or more in each of those. He gave the Astros his fifth consecutive quality start in a season-high seven innings despite not factoring into the decision.
Mat Latos had a no decision in his last start after giving up 5 runs. The right-hander stayed undefeated, but since allowing just two runs in his first four outings of the season, Latos has yielded 13 runs in the last 15.1 innings. We expect him to calm down in this one and GO WITH THE UNDER HERE IF 7.5 OR HIGHER
Thursday – Another UNDER situation here with Chris Sale undefeated and going into the 9th inning his last start with just a single run. He hasn’t allowed more than one run in four of his last five (the most allowed in a single game over this time being two runs).
All but one of the eight games Collin McHugh has started in have stayed UNDER 8 and he has permitted 10 hits in two of his last three starts so going with the UNDER in this game is not logical despite Sale starting.
Sale will be priced too high to go with the White Sox here.
