Cristopher Sanchez has been absolutely electric and is coming off one his career best performances, a complete game gem against a very good Red Sox lineup. With that being said, this matchup is more difficult than it may appear against a Chicago lineup that ranks top 10 in OPS over the last 30 days. It’s also worth noting that Sanchez is coming off a season high pitch count, in addition to pitchers often under performing following complete games. It’s difficult for almost any pitcher to record an out in the 7th inning.
