THE INSIDERS ROOM'S BIG-CHALK RUN-LINE BLOWOUT (OFF 11 STRAIGHT WINNING DAYS!)
(MLB) Chi White Sox vs. Cleveland,
Point Spread: 1.50 | -190.00 Chi White Sox (Away)
Result: Win
This is a 6* BIG-CHALK RUN-LINE BLOWOUT on the Cleveland Indians.

With last night's 3-2 extra innings loss, their fourth straight, the White Sox have now lost their grip on top spot in the AL Central, sitting a .5 game back of the Twins.

Chicago though can salvage their recent slide with a win today and move back into a tie with the Twins, before a tough season-ending three-game series at home vs. the cross town rival Cubs.

Dallas Keuchel (6-2, 2.04 ERA) gets the call for the visitors and he's 4-1 with a 2.79 ERA in eight career appearances vs. the Tribe.

Zach Plesac (4-2, 1.85) gets the call for the home side and he's 1-2 with a 2.42 ERA in four career starts vs. the White Sox.

I think these starters are a "wash."

I believe that Chicago though is for sure the more desperate team here and I think that's going to matter. With a "cream puff" three-game series at home vs. the Pirates to end the season, the stage is set for Cleveland to finally have a letdown here.

That said, I envision this contest once again being decided late or in extra innings (just like the last two have been), so in that case, I definitely have no issues laying the larger price for the extra 1.5 runs in our back pocket.

That's the play, the WHITE SOX on the RUN LINE!

Good luck, NP
