Pick

Both of these teams have been pretty bad over the last couple of months, but Chicago was able to get the win on Monday night. The White Sox are only 28-48 on the road this year and they are starting Jose Urena, who has allowed seven earned runs over 10.1 innings for Chicago in two starts. Washington is starting Jackson Rutledge, who has allowed 10 hits and seven earned runs in 3.2 innings. This is quite the pitching matchup in this game and we should see a ton of runs, but I am going to side with Urena and the White Sox here.
