MLB - 969 Chicago White Sox @ 970 Houston Astros
(Starting Pitchers: J. Quintana vs B. Norris)
Houston will be looking for a 4-games series sweep against the White Sox tonight and the truth is that they have just two losses against them this season! This will be the fourth straight game where the White Sox will send a LH pitcher to the mount to face Houston and the Astros are #10 in the league on hitting against LH pitchers. Jose Quintana will start for Chicago tonight and even though he has been decent lately and had a tough schedule, he has a 5.23 FIP with .284 BA allowed in June with three starts. Therefore, I believe the Astros will have some production on offense tonight against him.
The Astros will start Bud Norris in the mount and since he got crushed by the Tigers, he had five straight quality outings, with 6, 7 and 6 strikeouts on his last three games. It's also important to note that he faced Baltimore and LA Angels in two of these three outings, two red hot offenses right now. Norris's best pitch is the slider and the White Sox are the worst team in the league in hitting against this kind of pitch. So, if the White Sox's offense is being poor on this series, it won't get any better against Norris tonight.
Houston has the momentum of the series on their side, they are playing with confidence and with a SP edge tonight, I see the Astros picking up another win over the White Sox in here.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 970 Houston Astros ML (w/ B. Norris) @ -101 / 1.99 on Bovada
