Tips and Trends

Chicago White Sox at Cincinnati Reds

White Sox (-$1.10, O/U 9): The White Sox have defeated the Reds nine straight times. The last time Chicago lost to Cincinnati was on June 25, 1998. The White Sox are 12-2 lifetime versus the Reds, outscoring them, 28-11. A rejuvenated Jose Conteras will look to continue the streak. After going 0-5 with an 8.19 ERA in his first six starts this season, Contreras was sent to Triple-A. Since his return 11 days ago, Conteras has pitched 16 scoreless innings. During this span, Conteras has allowed three hits and three walks. Contreras defeated the Brewers during his last start Saturday, 8-1. He allowed two hits and two walks with eight strikeouts over eight innings. Contreras is 1-0 with a 4.85 ERA in two career starts versus Cincinnati. The White Sox are just 2-8 in Conteras’ last 10 starts. The White Sox, though, are 8-2 in their last 10 games versus National League Central Division clubs.

The Under is 36-16-2 in the White Sox’s last 54 games as a favorite.

However, Arroyo is 0-2 with a 6.23 ERA in three starts since then. The right-hander yielded a season-high 11 hits in five innings during his last start on Saturday. He gave up six runs in a 7-4 loss to Kansas City. Arroyo hasn’t faced the White Sox since 2005, when he pitched for the Red Sox. Arroyo is 1-2 with a 6.52 ERA in three lifetime starts versus the White Sox. The Reds have won 14 of their last 18 when Arroyo has been a home favorite.

Pittsburgh Pirates at Colorado Rockies

Pirates: Ross Ohlendorf faces Colorado for the first time. The right-hander allowed just one run and two hits in six innings in Pittsburgh’s 6-3 home victory against Detroit on Sunday. That was Ohlendorf’s first victory since May 18. Ohlendorf went 2-2 with a 5.56 ERA in his previous six starts. On the road this season, Ohlendorf is 2-3 with a 5.02 ERA. The Pirates rank second-to-last in home runs in the majors. They have been held to two runs or fewer 23 times this season. Pittsburgh has scored three or fewer runs in six of their past nine games. The Pirates have also dropped their previous four games in Colorado. They are 5-13 in their last 18 road contests when facing a right-handed starter. The Pirates have lost 46 of their past 67 games on Friday. They are 10-21 this season when meeting NL Central Division opponents.
