The White Sox could be 9-0 rather easily if their bullpen this season had been just good so far and not terrible. They have led in every single game but are 4-5 after the pen blew another Sunday. Still, I like the Pale Hose at just -125 here behind lefty Dallas Keuchel in place of late scratch Carlos Rodon. Keuchel is on regular rest. Young Tribe right-hander Triston McKenzie allowed one run on two hits over 3.2 innings of relief in his season debut vs. the Royals and probably won't go more than four innings. The White Sox are 15-4 in their past 19 as home favorites.
The White Sox are going to be slightly overvalued most of the season as there is a lot of excitement around the team. I've very bullish on Indians pitcher Tristan McKenzie and his 13.7 K/9 rate against right handed pitchers. I expect that number to regress too 11.5 but we're still talking about true elite strikeout upside. I make this game much close to a pick'em as my model has the Indians winning 49.3 percent of simulations.
