Braves vs White Sox MLB Betting Preview
Atlanta Braves Betting Preview
Chris Sale will take the mound in Chicago on Wednesday, pitching against his former team for the seventh time.
In six prior games against the Southsiders, he owns a 2.93 ERA with 57 strikeouts to seven walks across 37 innings. The last time he faced them in 2024, he struck out 11 at Guaranteed Rate Field over seven innings of one-run ball.
The veteran lefty has continued to dominate into his age-37 season, sporting a 2.32 ERA across 12 outings in 2026 with a hefty 29.3% strikeout rate. His Expected Batting Average has jumped up a hair from .205 to .228, but still finds itself 15 points better than average, and his Expected Slugging is still 61 points clear.
Sale's seen a nice drop in his hard-hit rate, which has paired nicely with a lower rate of contact through the air. His 55.5% Air rate is 4.4 points lower than 2025, and his ground-ball rate is up as well to closely match the league average. He has continued to generate strikeouts and whiffs at a high rate, and even when hitters are getting the bat on the ball, the contact has been rather harmless.
With all that said, the lefty is coming off his worst start of the year, where he surrendered three runs on 10 hits and two walks to the Blue Jays over 5 2/3 innings. But at this point, it's a mere blip on the radar for the future Hall of Famer.
Chicago White Sox Betting Preview
While the White Sox have yet to announce a starter, leaving the door open for a potential opener, the team is set to deploy Davis Martin for as long as it can on Wednesday.
The 29-year-old has grown into his own a bit this year with a 2.61 ERA across 12 starts, but regression is beginning to hit ever so slightly.
Martin was shelled last start in Minnesota, allowing six runs on 10 hits and three walks with just two strikeouts to his name. He failed to complete five innings for the first time this season, and it marked the second time in three starts that he'd allowed at least four runs and two walks.
The fourth-year man still owns a splendid 5.9% walk rate on the year, but given he's at 7.8% for his career, it's not surprising to see a few more creeping in as his overall regression begins to set in. Martin's also been somewhat fortunate this season to pitch to a 1.11 WHIP, considering he owns a poor .256 xBA, though a lot of that could have to do with Chicago's defense.
The White Sox infield is currently ranked fifth in Outs Above Average, meaning Martin — who favors the ground ball — is getting some help from his teammates and isn't entirely riding off of luck.
With that said, his ground-ball rate is only at 45.6%, just barely ahead of average, and after spiking at nearly 59% in May, it was back down to a harmless 40% against the Twins.
Atlanta ranks seventh-lowest in ground-ball rate this year, which will be something to take note of.
Braves vs White Sox Pick, Betting Analysis
The Braves are not putting the ball on the ground much, so just like Minnesota, Atlanta could give Martin some issues here.
The righty is giving up a bunch of loud contact, even if it's not necessarily threatening to leave the yard, and one particularly interesting wrinkle is the fact that he's allowed a 29.2% line-drive rate, which is way above the league norm.
Atlanta's been pretty strong offensively regardless of the split, but has favored ground-ballers slightly, ranking fifth in the league with a .734 OPS versus a ninth-place rank against fly-ballers.
Martin's love for pitching to lower launch angles should make for a good matchup on the Braves' side. And considering they have one of the lowest strikeout rates in baseball, I wouldn't be too concerned with Martin's relatively high 25.3% punchout rate.
As for the White Sox, they do love to swing. They are striking out at the third-highest clip in baseball, but in the last two weeks, things have calmed down a bit as they've lowered their K-rate to just 20.8% as they've gone on a tear.
Chicago's also hit lefties better this season, and has posted a stronger K/BB in these plate appearances as well, so Sale could be in for a bit of trouble here.
Also consider that Chicago ranks 11th in OPS against power pitchers — eight spots higher than its mark against finesse guys — and I think we've got some opportunities for runs.
Pick: Over 7.5 (-108 or Better)
