This is a 5* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Boston Red Sox.
Sometimes a favorite is a favorite for a reason and in this case we feel that Chris Sale and the hard-hitting home side could/should in fact be much larger ones:
Jose Berrios: He's 7-1 with a 2.67 ERA. Berrios struck out with White Sox over eight innings on Wednesday, giving up two runs off four hits and a walk in the 4-2 victory. Berrios was a disaster last year, but has looked fantastic to this point.
Sale: He's 9-3 with a 2.85 ERA. Sale most recently went 8.1 innings against KC on Tuesday, allowing three runs off four hits and a walk while striking out ten in the victory. Sale fired 79 of his 110 pitches for strikes and now has 146 K's on the season.
The bottom line: Berrios has been awesome, but we think his numbers are unsustainable. Sale on the other hand has the pedigree, track record and experience and there's no reason not to think that he won't be contending for the Cy Young at the end of the year. Note that Minnesota is already just 4-5 (-0.6 units) this year after three or more consecutive victories, while Boston is 22-11 (+7.6 units) this season following a loss. For us, Sale and the RED SOX are well worth the price of admission in this matchup.
