Totals Tend to go OVER in AL Central Matchups

With the White Sox sitting nine games back of a playoff spot, they have little left to play for and will most likely be playing the role of spoiler for the rest of the season. They did exactly that last night in their first of three games against the Indians and will look to win two in a row tonight against a team they have struggled against all year.

SHARK BITES
  • The Indians are 8-2 in their last 10 games against the White Sox.
  • The total has gone OVER in 9 of the White Sox' last 11 games against their division.
  • The total has gone OVER in 12 of the Indians' last 17 games against their division.

Jose Quintana (11-10, 3.13 ERA) takes the mound tonight looking to rebound from two consecutive rough outings but has not been great against the Indians this season. He is 0-2 in three starts against Cleveland and has allowed the current Indians’ lineup to hit .274 off him in 281 total at-bats.

Cleveland will counter with Trevor Bauer (11-6, 3.86 ERA), who will look to give his team their fourth straight win in games he has started and their seventh win in his last eight. Bauer has given up just one run to the White Sox in nine total innings pitched against them this season and has limited them to a batting average of just .133.
