Braves vs White Sox MLB Betting Preview
Atlanta Braves Betting Preview
The Braves have won 18 of 21 series this season, and the majority of them were not sweeps. Coming off a rare sweep against the Pirates, they jumped out to a 4-0 lead last night. Matt Olson did the heavy lifting with a pair of home runs, his 18th and 19th of the season. He is tied fourth in the MLB in home runs this season.
The Braves did not hold on to the early lead as the White Sox won 6-5 in 10 innings, but the loss was not the worst news of the night. Ronald Acuna Jr. left the game early with left hamstring tightness. Acuna has already had a stint on the IL this season, leaving multiple games due to various injuries. This time, the team is optimistic that he will not need to return to the IL, as he is listed as day-to-day.
That would be great news as he has started to heat up with five home runs, 11 RBI, eight stolen bases, and a 1.051 OPS over the last two weeks. The team is also getting catcher Drake Baldwin back soon, so the lineup would be nearing full strength if Acuna can avoid the IL again.
Though he will not have Baldwin as his battery mate yet, Chris Sale will be back in Chicago to take on his old team. In six career starts against the White Sox, Sale is 2-2 with a 2.92 ERA and 57 strikeouts in 37 innings. After a few difficult years in Boston, Sale has re-gained his form in Atlanta, earning consecutive All-Star appearances (with likely a third on the way) and his first Cy Young. The nine-time All-Star is 24 strikeouts away from recording 500 strikeouts with three different teams.
Chicago White Sox Betting Preview
On June 9th, 2024, Texas A&M advanced to the College World Series, but star outfielder Braeden Montgomery was unable to join them after suffering a broken ankle the day before. Fast forward two years, and Montgomery was making his MLB debut for the White Sox. He went 2-for-5 with three runs batted in. He also capped the White Sox rally with a two-run walk-off homer, becoming the fifth player in MLB history to hit a walk-off home run in his MLB debut.
Montgomery provided another fun moment for a young group just years removed from historic losing to looking like a contender in the American League. Though FanGraphs still doubts them, the White Sox are a half-game behind the Guardians in the AL Central and currently hold the second AL Wildcard spot.
They are eighth in the MLB in runs scored and third in home runs. That is despite rookie sensation Munetaka Murakami being on the injured list. However, along with Murakami, the team is establishing a young core with Colson Montgomery, Miguel Vargas, Sam Antonacci, and Tristan Peters. Montgomery may add himself to that group with more moments like last night.
Part of the doubts about the team stem from their pitching, which ranks 20th in team ERA (4.35). That is with Davis Martin emerging as a Cy Young candidate. He is 8-2 with a 2.61 ERA and 73 strikeouts in 72 and 1/3 innings. However, he will need to shake off a rocky start against the Twins in his last outing, although that was his second consecutive start against them.
Braves vs White Sox Pick, Betting Analysis
Sale vs. Martin makes for an exciting pitching matchup, particularly in Chicago, as it pits the team's old ace against the current ace. However, that matchup has suppressed the total, offering value towards the over. A 4-3 final is not a particularly high-scoring game, but that alone gets us a push. I expect an eighth run tonight as well.
Each of Sale's last three starts has had at least runs scored, and six of his last nine starts have had at least eight runs combined. There have also been at least eight runs in each of Martin's last four starts, two of which he allowed four runs or more.
Additionally, the White Sox are 20th in bullpen ERA, and their offense was able to get to the Braves' elite bullpen last night in the comeback. If we need one or two more runs late in the game, I'd expect one of these offenses, which are both in the top eight in runs scored, to come through.
Pick: Over 7 (-117, DraftKings)
