Key Stats
Chicago White Sox
https://gty.im/2128209670
The Chicago White Sox are projected to send Chris Flexen to the mound for today’s game. Flexen went 2-8 last year with a 6.86 ERA in 29 games. Luis Robert Jr. leads the team with a .333 batting average, two home runs, four RBIs, a .385 OBP, and four hits.
Atlanta Braves
https://gty.im/2128335245
The Braves will likely send Charlie Morton to the mound for today’s game. Morton finished last season with a 14-12 record, a 3.64 ERA, and 183 strikeouts. Orlando Arcia leads the team with a .500 batting average, six hits, and an OBP of .538. Ozzie Albies has a team-high two home runs and six RBIs.
Game Prediction
The Chicago White Sox are a hot mess right now, and with Morton on the mound today, things won’t get better. This Atlanta team has a stacked roster, and I don’t see how the White Sox can get a win in this one. Flexen will likely not make it long, as the Braves bats have been red-hot. Follow the numbers and roll with Atlanta to cover this one.
Final Pick
Atlanta Braves -1.5 (-135)
