Pick

The White Sox are coming off of a series win, but it was their first series win in almost two months. Arizona did lose their last series, but they have played very well over their last eight games. The Diamondbacks need to string some wins together in the final week of the season, as they are tied for the last NL Wild Card spot. Arizona is starting Zach Davies, who has allowed 3, 3, and 5 earned runs in his last three starts. Chicago is starting Jose Urena, who has allowed 1, 6, and 1 earned run in his last three starts. The Diamondbacks really need this win against a bad Chicago team, but I don’t love this pitching matchup for either side. I think the White Sox could generate some offense against Davies, so I will take them with the solid price here.
