10* GAME OF THE MONTH (WILL'S VERY BIGGEST!)
(MLB) Chi White Sox vs. Detroit,
Money Line: -158.00 Chi White Sox (Away)
Result: Win
Money Line: -158.00 Chi White Sox (Away)
Result: Win
The set-up: I think Lucas Giolito (5-5, 3.88 ERA) and the White Sox are well worth the price of admission in this spot. Giolito is out for revenge here after giving up four runs over seven innings in a loss to Detroit at home last Saturday. He did go on to strike out nine. Overall Giolito has been great this year and a bounce-back is imminent in my opinion, as note that he's 2-1 with a tiny 2.79 ERA in all "night" games this year.
The pick: Tarik Skubal (3-7, 4.33) gave up one run throwing opposite Giolito last Saturday for the victory, spanning five innings. He also had 11 strikeouts. Skubal has been better at home than on the road, but definitely better in all "day" games (2-1, 2.05), than in "night" contests (1-6, 5.91). Look for Giolito to come in fired up here and to easily outduel his inconsistent counterpart.
