The White Sox send out Lance Lynn tonight holding a 0-3 road record with a 7.46 ERA. In two starts against Cleveland, Lynn pitched 10 innings surrendering 12 hits and eight earned runs. Triston McKenzie has been a lot better of recent, owning a 2.97 ERA in the last 30 days. In two starts against the White Sox, he has a 1.80 ERA. The command is there to hold this White Sox lineup. I’ll make it squad ride on the Guardians to win.
The White Sox will lean on veteran pitcher Lance Lynn who has pitched much better over the last month, which included six scoreless innings of three-hit ball over the Guardians on July 23. I'm grabbing the White Sox, who will bounce back from yesterday’s embarrassing loss to the Astros.
This line should be closer to -140. The Guardians have been really good against fastballs, and Lance Lynn throws that pitch 60.2% of the time. Lance has a road ERA of 7.46 this season. Triston McKenzie is holding hitters to a .198 batting average with a sparkling 2.81 ERA at home. Take the Guardians.
Lance Lynn has been hit or miss all season and he was rocked in one of his two starts against the Guardians. Triston McKenzie has pitched well, and he allowed just 1 ER each time he faced the White Sox. The Guardians are 17-11 since the All-Star break while the White Sox are 15-12 but they are 4-6 on the road. The Guardians have the best bullpen since the ASB while the White Sox are ranked 26th.
Friday game. The White Sox come off a highly charged series with Houston and had to travel Thursday, while the Guardians were off -- 7-2 in their past nine following a day off -- and thus have no bullpen concerns. Triston McKenzie has 2.81 ERA at home and has allowed only two earned runs and eight hits over 10 innings this year against the White Sox. Chicago's Lance Lynn has been pretty bad overall and especially away with a 0-3 record and 7.46 ERA. He had one great start at home vs. Cleveland this year and was obliterated in one at Progressive Field. This ain't chess, it's checkers! Early ML feels about 10-15 cents low.
