ONE OFF THE CARD FOR TUESDAY:
Yankees RHP Hiroki Kuroda (10-6, 2.38 ERA) at White Sox LHP Chris Sale (6-11, 2.92 ERA), 8:10 EST.
Line: White Sox -128, Yankees +118 (Pinnacle)
Game 2 of a 3 game series continues tonight in Chicago as a pair of aces square off in what should be a great game. The Yankees got waxed last night as the White Sox pounded Andy Petite for 11 hits and 7 earned runs en route to an easy victory. The game was pretty much over after 3 innings as the Sox jumped out to a 7-0 lead and never looked back.
The Yankees who haven’t won back to back games since July 11-12 are sitting at 6-10 since the All Star Break, we get the feeling this season is starting to slip away from Joe Girardi’s team. The one bright spot for the injury riddled pinstripes this season has been the superb play of Hiroki Kuroda. He’s given up 2 runs in his past 33 innings; he’s second in the AL in ERA and 4th in WHIP. Every time out he gives the Yankees their best chance to win.
The White Sox counter with their ace, lanky 6’6” lefty Chris Sale. As good as Kuroda has been this season Sale has been just as impressive. Sale leads the league in innings pitched per start with an impressive 7.1 per. He has only allowed 13 HR’s and 31 BB’s in 144 innings pitched. A walk/HR allowed every 3.2 innings is fantastic and is one of our main handicapping indicators and statistics. We love a guy that pounds the strike zone doesn’t not fall behind in counts and keeps his pitch count low.
The White Sox’ postseason chances are done and the Yankees are fading fast. Although we don’t think this will be a true pitcher’s duel we think it’ll be low scoring and like Sale’s White Sox to take it to the Yankees yet again.
Prediction: White Sox 5, Yankees 2
PLAY ON: White Sox -128
