This is a 7* on the WHITE SOX

Carlos Rodon has been excellent this season for Chicago, winning five of his seven starts with a 1.27 ERA and 0.797 WHIP. That he didn’t win the last one (start) is rather criminal as he pitched six scoreless frames and had 13 strikeouts. The White Sox have actually lost the last two times Rodon has pitched, but that’s okay as they’ve also beaten St. Louis two straight in this series. The Cardinals have put up a total of 10 runs in their last five games including only four vs. the White Sox. Rodon should certainly be able to handle them as the White Sox go for the sweep Wednesday afternoon. This season has seen St. Louis go 1-6 as a road underdog of +125 to +175. They’ll start John Gant today. Gant hasn’t been giving up a ton of runs, but what is curious is the fact his WHIP (1.63) is actually higher than his ERA (1.42) on the road. You almost never see that. For the year, his WHIP is 1.56, which really does not correspond with a 2.04 ERA. His last start, which came against last place Pittsburgh, was only the second time in eight tries Gant didn’t walk at least three batters. He’s walked at least five three times and has more walks than strikeouts his previous four starts. Play on CHICAGO
