Saturday MLB Free Pick
(The Spread) – Can the Chicago White Sox continue their resurgence Saturday as they square off again with the host Oakland Athletics?
Oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com have made the Athletics -118 favorites and the White Sox a +108 underdog in the contest which is slated for a 4:05PM EST start. The over-under in the game is set for 7.5 runs.
On the hill for the White Sox will be Gavin Floyd (4-2, 3.67 ERA), while the Athletics counter with Tyson Ross (2-2, 2.51 ERA). Chicago won game one of the series 4-3 Friday night, its fifth win in its last six games.
According to latest MLB trends, Floyd has a 3-0 record and a 1.32 ERA in six career starts versus the Athletics. Ross is 1-0 with three innings of scoreless relief in his career against the White Sox.
MLB Free Pick: Chicago is playing more inspired baseball now and the bullpen is in better order than it was early in the season. Looking at Floyd’s dominant numbers in his career versus Oakland as well as the eight shutout innings he threw in his last start and it is difficult not to side with the White Sox here. Floyd is a streaky pitcher and when he is hot he can dominate any lineup. I like the streaking White Sox at +108 here.
