#MLB Free Pick from Mike Lundin
(MLB) Chi White Sox vs. Cleveland,
Total: 8.00 | -105.00 Over
Result: Win
Play: Under
Rating: 5*

American League Central rivals Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Indians will open a three-game set Friday night. I think runs will come at a premium with two hot pitchers on the mound.

Trevor Bauer (4-2, 3.69) will take the ball for Cleveland. He has posted a 1.72 ERA with 13 strikeouts and two walks in his last two starts, both on the road. Bauer has a 4.75 ERA in seven appearances at Progressive Field on the season, but I think he'll put up a strong performance tonight as he has a solid .213 batting average against over 127 at bats versus the current White Sox team.

The White Sox turn to Jose Quintana (5-7, 2.66 ERA). The White Sox have lost each of his last six starts despite solid pitching from the left-hander, and they've scored just an average of just 2.76 runs in Quintana's 13 starts on the season. Quintana recorded eight strikeouts while conceding three runs on five hits in six innings of 4-3 home loss against Cleveland on May 25. He is 5-2 with a 2.71 ERA in 15 career appearances (13 starts) vs. the Tribe.

Under is 5-1 in Bauer's last six starts vs. White Sox, Under is 5-0 in Quintana's last five starts vs. Indians. Look for this game to go under.
