(MLB) Chi White Sox vs. Houston,
Money Line: -108.00 Chi White Sox (Away)
Result: Loss
White Sox
Rodon has allowed one earned run or fewer in nine of his 11 starts this season. He’s struck out 37% of the batters that he’s faced this season and has strong career numbers in five starts against the Astros.
Meanwhile, Garcia the Astros’ right-hander also owns a 4.05 xFIP, which is more than a full run higher than his current ERA, suggesting that he could be due for some further regression. With Chicago coming off of a blowout loss in the series opener, this looks like a good spot for Chicago to bounce back with a win on Friday night.
