7:15 Chicago White Sox @ St. Louis

Tonight Chicago White Sox are on the last game of a series against the St Louis Cardinals.  Winning the first game 6 – 1 and losing the second in a pitcher’s duel 1 – 0.  Tonight should have some fireworks in it not like the first two games.

Gavin Floyd will be on the mound tonight for the Chicago White Sox on the year he has a 4 – 6 record and a 5.37 ERA.  In his last five starts he has had some bad outing against sub-par teams like Houston and Minnesota.  In those last five games he has over a 10 ERA giving up over 30 runs in only 25 2/3 innings pitched.  Tonight we should expect more of the same with the St Louis bats able to get to Floyd early and often.

St Louis has Jake Westbrook pitching tonight who has had similar problems as of late giving up 22 runs in 26 innings pitched for an ERA of 7.62.  Chicago should be able to similar get ahold of the pitcher early causing this game to become a scoring fest.

This would have been probably an easy victory tonight for St Louis if their offense hasn’t been struggling as much as it has.  We will be instead be rooting for both teams to put up big runs to make it easier on ourselves.  Expect this game to sail past the total.

Projected score: Chicago White Sox 6 – St Louis 7

Pick: Good Bet Chicago White Sox @ St Louis OVER 8.5
