This is a 6* SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH on the Chicago White Sox.
The visitors hand the ball to Trevor Bauer (10-11, 4.56 ERA) who was shelled for five runs off six hits over just 1/3's innings in a loss to the Jays on Wednesday. Bauer has been all over the map as far as his consistency from game to game this year and that certainly doesn't bode well for him throwing opposite White Sox' ace Chris Sale (12-7, 3.29 ERA), who actually looked pretty pedestrian on September 1st, giving up four runs off nine hits over 6 1/3's innings with one walk and 10 K's in a loss at the Twins. For some reason Sale has had extreme difficulties at Target Field, giving up a whopping 17 earned runs in 16 innings of work there this season. A date at home vs. the Tribe is just what the doctor ordered to get untracked though as the crafty southpaw is already 1-0 with a 1.80 ERA in two starts vs. them this year. Also note that Sale is 7-1 with a highly respectable 2.42 ERA in 12 outings this season when playing with five days of rest (and finally it's also important to note that Sale is 5-3 with a 2.73 ERA in front of the home town crowd thus far). We primarily base our MLB picks on starting pitching, "situations," motivation and scheduling and in this case, the overwhelming factors working in favor of Sale and the WHITE SOX this afternoon makes this a price which we have no issues at all in laying.
