AAA's Afternoon "ASSASSIN!" (TIME TO FINISH REG. SEASON STRONG!)
(MLB) Detroit vs. Chi White Sox, 09/07/2016 10:10 AM, Score: 4 - 7
Money Line: -119.00 Chi White Sox (Home)
Result: Win
This is an 8* ASSASSIN on the Chicago White Sox.

Setting the scene: The White Sox held on for a 2-0 win yesterday and we're expecting the home side to find a way to the job done again this afternoon in what we feel to be a major pitching mismatch working in its favor.

Anibal Sanchez: He's 7-13 with a 5.70 ERA. He most recently gave up three runs off five hits over five innings in a no-decision against Kansas City on Friday. It was a decent outing by his standards this year, note that he's just 3-7 with a 7.11 ERA on the road thus far.

Jose Quintana: He's 11-10 with a 3.05 ERA. He comes in off an outing to forget in which he gave up seven runs over five innings in a setback to the Twins on Thursday. The one bright spot is that he'd go on to strike out eight. Quintana gave up more runs in that one outing than in his previous four combined. Note that he's 6-4 with a 2.70 ERA in front of the home town crowd this year.

The bottom line: Quintana's 3.05 ERA ranks second in the AL, just ahead of his teammate Chris Sale (3.07) and just behind the Jays' Aaron Sanchez (2.92). He owns a 3.99 lifetime ERA against Detroit and we think he should be a much larger fav in this one. The value play is on the WHITE SOX.
