The Houston Astros are maneuvering to Chicago to take on the house
town Chicago white Sox at US Cellular Field this Thursday night. Chicago has
been great in the home this year and on the whole the White Sox have already
been a lot better than anyone could expect. Houston has been rough on your way
and the Astros have observed their once vaunted rotation fail to send any decent
returns so far this season.

Chicago will send Chris Sale (8 - 0, 1.67 ERA) to take the mound in
this game. Sale, today, has become the best pitcher in all of baseball and he
continues to enhance in ways that nobody might have expected just a few years
ago. Sale is coming off of 9 IP of 1 run ball from the Yankees, needing only 99
pitches to obtain through the game. Chicago's offense has been decent in 2010
and they'll have a good chance of having Sale another win here.
With the White Sox struggling mightily today, the pressure is on
Chris Sale to supply a good start for Chicago tonight. Sale has been superb for
the White Sox this year, posting a great 8-0 record with a microscopic 1.67 ERA.
He's the fourth starter in White Sox history to win every one of his first eight
starts in a season. Sale was tremendous in his last start, allowing only one run
on six hits in a complete game win on the New York Yankees on Friday. He struck
out six and didn't issue a single walk in that pitching masterclass. Sale has
been on a tear this month, recording a 1.69 ERA in his last three
starts.
MLB Picks - The White Sox having their
superstar ace Chris Sale on the mound as he improves to 9-0 as he improves on
what look like a lock for Cy Young winning season.
