+210 MLB dog that may bark tonight.
Chicago White Sox (Holmgren +210) v. Cleveland Indians (Tomlin -230)
White Sox starting a converted reliever David Holmgren who has very good stuff.
He's making his third start so don't expect more than six innings out of him, probably more like five and fly, but he was pretty much untouchable out of the bullpen earlier this season, his last two appearances were starts against Boston and Detroit, two very good offenses and held his own just fine.
Indians start Josh Tomlin, who's been shaky this season.
Right handed batters have hit Tomlin hard all season .310 batting average against, .830 OBPS and the White Sox
Holmgren throws left, take away Lindor Indians are not a very good left handed pitching team.
Even with Lindor Indians only hit .237 v. LHP and that's a full .30 points lower than opponents.
Indians start Josh Tomlin, who's been shaky this season.
Right handed batters have hit Tomlin hard all season .310 batting average against, .830 OBPS and the White Sox line up tonight matches up extremely strong in this spot.
Not to mention his home ERA is over six this year.
I love Tim Anderson on top, followed by Melke, Jose Abreu, Garcia, Frazier, team sports nine right handed batters tonight, well six strict right handed batters and three switch hitters that will probably hit right.
It's a lineup that can inflict pain here.
Now, here's the caveats.
I'm counting on White Sox to ambush Tomlin early, if not and this is a 2-2 type game, edge goes to Indians with that superior bullpen.
Also another thing that can go wrong is Tomlin finds himself and throws a gem, like the one he threw against KC earlier this month, and my worst nightmare, Holmgren gets knocked around early.
Not a slam dunk, you want a sure thing, go out and buy Amazon stock, and even that got hit Friday.
All's I'm saying is this is a spot play at a very enticing +210 that has cash potential.
Pass, fade or tail, hell, I'm just throwing it out there.
