Key Stats
Chicago White Sox
The White Sox are projected to send Garrett Crochet to the mound for this evening’s game. Crochet had a great first start of the season, but ultimately took the loss against the Detroit Tigers. In six innings, he gave up one run and struck out eight. Luis Robert and Yoan Moncada lead the team with four hits each. Robert also has two HRs and four RBIs.
Atlanta Braves
Reynaldo Lopez is the probable starting pitcher for the Braves tonight. Lopez is making his return to the hill as a full-time starter for the first time since the 2020 season. Last season, Lopez appeared in 68 games, going 3-7 with a 3.27 ERA and 83 Ks in 66 innings. Ozzie Albies, Orlando Arcia, and Michael Harris II lead the team with 7 hits each. Albies also leads the team with two HRs and seven RBIs.
Game Prediction
Garrett Crochet had a great first outing against the Tigers. However, the Braves aren’t the Tigers. Atlanta has the most dangerous lineup in all of baseball and they have gotten off to a terrific start. The White Sox are not a good team. Outside of Luis Robert, it is very difficult to see anybody having any real success in Chicago’s lineup.
Final Pick
Atlanta Braves -1.5 (-130)
