The Baltimore Orioles welcome in the Chicago White Sox in Major League Baseball action today. The game is is scheduled for a 1:05 p.m. start time and it will be televised live on MLB.tv. Currently the odds for the game have the White Sox listed as a solid favorite to pick up the win on the road.
The Orioles and White Sox will play a couple of games today, the first one starting pretty early in the afternoon. Both teams find themselves under .500 to start the season and they are each in a tough division. These games today could help the Orioles crawl back up to the even mark on the season at 23-23, Chicago has no chance to become level with a couple of wins today.
Heading to the mound for Baltimore will be the youngster Tyler Wilson. He's a reliever that will be making a spot start for the Orioles, having thrown only two innings this season. The most recent came in a relief appearance against the Miami Marlins where he gave up an earned run on three hits, but still found a way to pick up the victory.
Chris Sale will start for the White Sox. The crafty left-hander has been very good in past seasons, but this year finds himself at just 3-2 with a 4.21 ERA in eight starts so far this season. Sale threw eight innings each of his last three starts, where he's counted for just two decision, winning and losing one each. The White Sox are 2-1 in those handful of games, breaking a streak of three-straight victories in Sale starts.
Current Orioles own a record of .254 against Sale in 71 at bats. Both J.J. Hardy and Adam Jones have three hits in eight at bats, each with a home run. Delmon Young has also homered off Sale in his career. The Orioles also have 23 strikeouts in those 71 at bats as well, with only nine walks.
If the White Sox lineup can take advantage of the youngster Wilson, Sale can pitch them to a victory.
Free Pick: White Sox
NFL Free Pick: Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears
According to professional sports bettor Steve Fezzik, the early bird can catch a profitable worm if they put money down on Green Bay's opening week showing against the Chicago Bears. With the line currently at -4.5 at most Vegas sports books, Fezzik predicts it will move to -6.5 come game day, as no one is going to be betting on the Jay Cutler-helmed Bears, so the money will pour in on Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. With that being the case, time strike early while the iron is hot.
