Hop on the White Sox while you can still get them at this price because the books got this line all wrong. Sure, the Astros are a good baseball team and Framber Valdez has pitched well this year, but one problem, he’s a left-handed pitcher. Why’s that a problem? Because the White Sox have been crushing lefties this year, to the tune of a .279 batting average, an average that goes up to .297 when facing lefties on the road, the White Sox have also won 44 of their last 58 games against teams with left-handed starting pitchers, including an astounding 18-4 record this season alone. The White Sox are starting Lance Lynn here, who has stifled teams all year long with a 7-2 record and a 1.51 ERA, and even taking the loss in his last start, it was only the second time all year that Lynn allowed three runs in a start. Getting him at plus money with the way the White Sox destroy lefties? Yes please. Give me the White Sox here.
