Result: Loss
#930 ASA PLAY ON San Diego Padres -1.5 on the Run Line (-115) over Chicago White Sox, Friday at 9:40 PM ET - Garret Crochet to get the start for the White Sox. Even though he is off a rare solid outing, it lasted only 4 innings and was against a bad A's team. Crochet continues to be limited on his innings and he has averaged only 3.1 innings per outing in his last 11 outings. He has not gone more than 4 innings in a start since all the way back in June. He is 0-6 with a 6.46 ERA since the All-Star break. Crochet will exit this start early, as per usual, and then one of the worst bullpens in the league takes over. This is a solid value spot for the Padres as Joe Musgrove expected to get the start for San Diego. Musgrove has had only one bad start in his last 10 starts and that was at home so you know he will be fired up to come out strong here at home and make up for his last start in San Diego. Certainly solid outings have been the norm for Musgrove. Other than the one outlier, his other 9 starts in that 10-start stretch saw Musgrove allow a total of only 8 earned runs in 48 innings for a 1.50 ERA in those 9 outings! We look for a dominant performance here as Musgrove takes advantage of facing a 36-117 White Sox team. The Padres are 42-26 against teams that do not currently have a winning record on the season. Chicago is 18-82 against teams with a winning record this season. 89 of 117 losses by 2 or more runs for White Sox this season. 66 of 87 Padres wins this season by at least 2 runs. 16 of last 20 San Diego wins also by 2 or more runs. In terms of recent trending for Chicago with their losses, the White Sox are off a 1-run loss to the Angels in extra innings but this was after each of last 12 losses by 2+ runs. Given numbers like the ones we pointed out above you can see why we are very comfortable laying the 1.5 runs on the run line here. This one looks like a home blowout! Lay the run line in this one!
