4* Money Maker
(MLB) Texas vs. Chi White Sox,
Money Line: 102.00 Chi White Sox (Home)
Result: Loss
Taking the WHITE SOX. So you know I like my streaks. And as I write this the day before, Texas has won 3 in a row heading into this Tuesday night matchup. That being said, even if we are looking at 4 up for the Rangers, and 3 straight L's for the Sox, I have to grab Kopech as a small dog. I can't back Perez in this spot. Guy has been a total Jekyll and Hyde with his splits this season. 1.71 ERA in 5 home starts. Totally dominant. On the road. He is Charlie Hough pitching at 64! 6.50 ERA in 9 starts. Opposing hitters raking a ridiculous .330 against him! 11 HRs allowed. A 1.80 WHIP. I know the Sox are in a little free for all, but I'll take them here. Kopech finally turning the corner and living up to the 1st round pick status. Last 7 games, dealing - 2.01 ERA .99 WHIP 53 Strikeouts in 40 innings. I like it. Honestly. If we go back to May - 9 starts. He has lowered his from a 7.01 to 3.92. That is what 14 runs in 52 innings looks likes. 2 of less runs allowed in 7 of those 9 starts. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX
