I'm looking forward to this game; two young pitchers who've shown some
form since coming up face off in the final game of the series, with the
White Sox looking for the sweep and their eighth win off the belt.
Alex Cobb appears to be what the Rays hoped he'd be and seems to
belong in the majors. Cobb is 2-0 on the season with a 2.25 ERA. Jose
Quintana, more of a surprise success, is going into his second start of
the season after four hitting the Indians over six innings last Friday.
The difference should be on offense; the South Siders have been
hammering the cover off the ball recently, hitting .328 (righties at
.379) L5 or .308/.299 L10 if you prefer a larger sample size. The Rays
however, are hitting only .190/.180 L5 (.211/210 L10)
I can't have Quintana at the price SU, so I'll take one more run at
the mathematics of turning road favourites into dogs on the runline and
settle back with a cup of tea and a slice of cake.
Pick: Chicago White Sox -1.5 @ 13/8; 2.62; 162
