This is an 8* ASSASSIN on the Chicago White Sox.
The White Sox won the battle of Chicago in yesterday's 1-0 series opener and runs are likely going to be at a premium once again today, but I think Chris Sale and the visitors will find a way to get the job done at the end of the night. Sale (7-4, 2.80 ERA) went the distance in a 4-2 win over the Jays on Monday, giving up two runs off six hits over nine innings of work while also striking out six and walking no one. Sale has now given up a total of three runs over his last two starts and is 4-3 with a 3.40 ERA on the road. The home side counters with Jon Lester (4-7, 3.48 ERA) who gave up two runs over seven innings in a 2-1 loss to the Cardinals on Monday. Lester has improved as the season has worn on, but note that he owns a pedestrian 3-5, 3.26 ERA home record. And note that Sale has dominated in interleague action throughout his career, going 4-0 with a tiny 1.97 ERA in nine starts vs. the NL. With both teams struggling at the plate, the hitting department becomes a "wash," so that means this one comes down to the starting pitching and in this case, Sale gets the slight nod in this match-up in our professional opinion. Play on the WHITE SOX.
