Point Spread: -1.50 | -130.00 Chi White Sox (Home)
Result: Loss
The Braves ended a four-game losing streak by upsetting the Cubs in a rain-delayed, 11-inning makeup game Thursday. Now the Braves draw the rested White Sox, who were idle Thursday, and lefty Chris Sale.
Atlanta has the worst offense and worst record in the majors. The Braves are 9-22 versus southpaws. This is a kill spot for the White Sox so I'm going to lay a 1 1/2 runs at considerably reduced juice. Matt Wisler has shown some promise, but he's far from Sale's class and is backed by a bad bullpen that also carries a high fatigue rating.
Chicago is 15-3 in Sale's past 18 starts. The White Sox are 8-1 in Sale's past nine home starts and 8-0 in his last eight interleague starts.
The White Sox are playing well winning seven of 10, including their past five.
