Patrick Corbin is 5-4 with a 3.59 ERA this season while Manny Banuelos is 3-4 with a 7.36 ERA. The Nats are hot having won nine of their last 11 and they are fifth in the league in OPS against lefties. The White Sox are 23rd in the league in OPS against lefties and their hottest hitter in Moncada is out tonight. This line has become much more favorable since it came out, take the value in the Nats.
The White Sox have scored 25 runs over their past eight games, they've dropped nine of their last 10 versus Washington and they're much worse than their record indidates. Back the surging Nats, who are better than their record, to win for the eighth time in their last 10 outings.
It's a heavy price to pay, yes, but it's also an extreme mismatch on the mound. Patrick Corbin will start for the Nats, while Manny Baneulos starts for the White Sox. The same Manny Banuelos with an ERA of 8.70 and is allowing 3.0 HR/9. Also, I expect Yoan Moncada, one of the hottest Chicago hitters of late, to miss this game after leaving with a sore back on Monday night. As a team the White Sox offense has struggled against lefties all season, and while the Nats bullpen has problems, Chicago's isn't much better, posting an ERA of 5.97 over the last two weeks.
