Anytime Keuchel pitches people are going to assume Houston and under. Keuchel isn't nearly as dominant as he once was, however. His ERA/WHIP are 4.12/1.31 which are "ok" but fairly pedestrian. He comes into this game of his highest pitch count of the season, and as I've said a lot lately, if pitchers struggle it's close the the All Star break as they wear down a bit. Also, the White Sox have had some surprising success against Keuchel. Abreu and Garcia have hit him quite well. Giolito just hasn't been very good at all, and it seems like the Houston bats are heating up. Giolito has allowed four or more earned runs in four of his last five starts and is a big-time flyball pitcher in the wrong park against the wrong team. The Chicago bullpen has a WHIP of almost 2.00 over the last seven games, so it's quite possible that Houston scores all of these, and the Houston RL is not off the table, either. That's without McCann or Correa - the White Sox have scored three or more in six straight games. Bill Miller (HPU) called that 1-0 game in Coors last week, but in the AL he's 3-3 O/U - if we had a better ump this would just be a bigger play.
