T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox -1.5

I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. After a few winning streaks in a row, the White Sox find themselves slowly getting closer to that last wildcard spot. Their chances are pretty slim, considering the wildcard teams are really hot right now, and they really need some more winning streaks and long ones. However, this is the perfect situation for them. At home, against a weak opponent, with their best pitcher on the mound. Dylan Cease (14-6, 2.06 ERA) has looked like one of the best pitchers in all of baseball at times this year. In his last two starts, he's been nearly un-hittable, allowing just 4 hits in 15 innings pitched. In his last meeting against the Colorado Rockies, dating back to last season, he allowed just one run, while striking out 11 in 5.1 innings. Now, the Rockies will be starting Kyle Freeland (8-9, 4.63 ERA,) a southpaw with a four pitch arsenal. Primarily a fastball/slider pitcher, Freehand has been a bit shaky at times this year. In his last 6 starts, he's given up 18 earned runs. That's an average of three per start, and I'd be shocked if Cease allows that many. With the White Sox needing to string a lot of victories together to end the season, and the Rockies having just won four games in a row last week, I expect Chicago to have no problem winning by more than a run here on Wednesday.

T.M. Prediction: 7-3 White Sox.
