The Houston Astros head to the Windy City to take on the Chicago White Sox for a three-game set. These teams split four games in the opening series this season in Houston. Houston comes into this game having won two in a row. J.P. France will look to keep the momentum going when he takes the mound. It will be his second career start. He has posted a 0.00 ERA and a 0.80 WHIP. He threw five scoreless innings in his debut against Seattle. The White Sox are playing really badly and just dropped three of four to Kansas City. The Sox will go with Michael Kopech on the mound. He is 1-3 with a 5.97 ERA, a 1.566 WHIP. In his last three starts, he is 1-1 with a 4.76 ERA, a 1.35 WHIP. The Sox have been disappointing this season with bad pitching and a rash of injuries to key players. France was solid in his major league debut against the Mariners. The Sox have not shown that they can consistently beat bad teams, let alone good ones. Take the Astros in this one.
