ROGERS 10* EVENING MLB D-E-M-O-L-I-T-I-O-N
(MLB) Chi White Sox vs. Cleveland,
Point Spread: -1.50 | -141.00 Cleveland (Home)
Result: Win
Point Spread: -1.50 | -141.00 Cleveland (Home)
Result: Win
The set-up: Considering the talent discrepancy on the mound tonight, I'm definitely going to lay the 1.5 runs for the near pick-em price. The visitors hand the ball to Ivan Nova, while the home side goes with Shane Bieber.
The pitchers: Nova (9-11, 4.48 ERA) has enjoyed success vs. the Tribe this year (1-1, 2.14 ERA in three outings), but he enters off back-to-back losses and I definitely think that he's in the wrong place at the wrong time in this one.
Bieber (12-7, 3.27) enters off a loss despite allowing only three runs over seven inning with nine K's. Note that Bieber has to be feeling confident here though as he's 1-1 with a 2.84 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in four career match ups vs. the White Sox.
The pick: Chicago has actually won eight of 14 meetings in the season series this year, so clearly the home side won't be looking past its opponent today. This one has "blowout" written all over it.
Cleveland Indians -1.5 10* play
