MLB FREE PICK: Take the under. According to latest MLB trends, the White Sox are 0-4 Under last 4 Thursday games, 1-5-1 Under last 7 games as an underdog, 2-8-1 Under last 11 when their opponent scores 5 runs or more in their previous game, 3-10 Under last 13 games with the total set at 9.0-10.5., 4-10 Under last 14 games vs. a right-handed starter and is 1-5 Under in Quintana’s last 6 starts as an underdog. Boston is 1-5 Under last 6 games as a favorite of -110 to -150 and is 3-7 Under in Buchholz’s last 10 starts vs. American League Central. The White Sox may found a keeper in Quintana, who is a 23-year old lefty with a 2.60 ERA. Buchholz is coming off the DL and has pitched better as of late. The total is pretty high considering Quintana’s production. Boston crushed rookie Pedro Hernandez last night, in a 10-1 rout. That was his first start and may have been his last as he was sent down after that start. This will be a lower-scoring game.
THURSDAY MLB FREE PICK: WHITE SOX/RED SOX UNDER 10.5
