Chicago White Sox (Giolito) @ Detroit Tigers (Manning)
CHW ML (-157) – The Tigers are playing host to AL Central rival the White Sox. The Tigers have had such a disappointing season as they look to build on their future and spoil the playoff hopes of the White Sox. The White Sox have dominated this series and call Tigers stadium their home away from home as they are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games in Detroit. The White Sox are a hot team right now and they are coming together at the right time as they only sit 3 games from taking over 1st place in the division. Giolito has been clutch on the road this season with a 6-2 record and just under 4.0 ERA. This should be a fun Friday evening game to watch and I’m going with the road dog on this one. I’m taking CHW ML (-157) and putting them into a parlay with the rest.
Pittsburgh Pirates (Keller) @ New York Mets (Walker)
NYM -1.5 (-109) – The Mets are back on top, well kind of. The Mets need to take advantage of this series against the Pirates with wins and they did just that last night. Veteran pitcher Taijuan Walker gets the mound tonight and he has been awesome at home this season with a 4-1 record. Walker is coming off one of his best performances of the season and needs to duplicate that again here tonight. The Pirates on the other hand are still playing to spoil other teams’ seasons. It’s safe to say the Mets will make the playoffs however they want to win the division. The last time Keller faced the Mets he had 6 shutout innings and got the job done at home however, the road has not been as kind. I’m betting the Mets -1.5 (-109).
