Why Experts Are Betting the Cardinals vs White Sox Game Will Stay Under the Total Runs
The Cardinals are 38-35 and currently sitting in fourth place in the NL Central. I’m not sure if that is a testament to how good the division has been this season, or if it is just a fluke that they are buried this deep despite being above .500. This is one of only two divisions in the sport that have four teams above .500 at the moment. The Cardinals are three games over, while the Red Sox in the AL East are in fourth place and are just one game above .500. The comparison isn’t super important, but I do find the records and divisions always interesting as the season advances. The Cardinals are fifth in the National League in run differential as well, so I expect them to end higher than fourth place. Tonight they have Sonny Gray on the hill. He gives them a chance to win in any game. He is 7-2 for the season with a 3.84 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP. The only concern is that he has a 5.88 road ERA which is not good. In five starts, he has allowed 17 earned runs on the road, while allowing 17 earned runs at home in nine starts. I took a loss in his last start betting that he would pitch well against the Brewers – he allowed six earned runs in 4.1 innings. Overall, the White Sox are pretty good against Gray, hitting .270 against him. However, 11 of their 20 hits have come from Andrew Benintendi.ÂÂ
