LATE NIGHT SHOWDOWN >>> JAW-DROPPING 12-3 RUN ON THE LINE
(MLB) Chicago vs. Los Angeles,
Money Line: -168.00 Los Angeles (Home)
Result: Win
Money Line: -168.00 Los Angeles (Home)
Result: Win
The set-up: While neither of these starting pitchers instills a ton of confidence, I definitely think that Andrew Heaney and the home side are well worth the price of admission in this matchup vs. the White Sox volatile starter Reynaldo Lopez.
The pitchers: Lopez (7-9, 5.16 ERA) has admittedly looked better over the last few weeks and he arguably comes in off his best start of the year after holding the A's scoreless over six innings. I'll point out though that Lopez has been a train wreck on the road all year, going just 3-4 with a 5.81 ERA.
Heaney (1-3, 4.89) returned from the IL and looked great in his first start back, giving up one run over four innings in a no-decision to the Red Sox.
The pick: After upsetting the Astros by taking two of three, including a 13-9 win on Wednesday, I believe the White Sox take a predicable step back here (note as well that Heaney is 1-0 with a 1.45 ERA in three career match ups with Chicago.) Lay the price with confidence.
LA Angels 9* play
