Why The Diamondbacks Could Cover The Spread
The Diamondbacks will need their offense to get hot in this game. They are pretty good with the bats, so this should not be a problem. It especially should not be a problem because of their matchup. The Diamondbacks have to face Jose Urena and he has been very hittable this season. Urena has a 7.27 ERA, 1.67 WHIP, and just 24 strikeouts in 34 2/3 innings pitched. Opponents hit over .300 off Urena this season. The Diamondbacks have a great matchup, and they should be able to put up some runs in this game.
Why The White Sox Could Cover The Spread
The White Sox, like the Diamondbacks, have a good matchup in this game. Zach Davies has a 6.81 ERA, 1.61 WHIP, and opponents hit .286 off him. What is even worse are Davies' stats on the road. When pitching away from Arizona, Davies has a 8.10 ERA, and opponents are batting .287 off him. The White Sox do find ways to rack up the hits sometimes, and this should be one of those games. Andrew Vaughn and Eloy Jimenez are the two best active hitters in the White Sox lineup. If the White Sox can get on base for Vaughn and Jimenez, those two hitters will drive in some runs. This game will be a little higher scoring, and the White Sox should be able to put up the runs to cover the spread.
Final Diamondbacks-White Sox Prediction & Pick
As mentioned, this game will feature some runs. I am going to take the over. As for a winner, the Diamondbacks are just the better team, and that is what I will stick with. I am going to take the Diamondbacks to cover the spread.
Final Diamondbacks-White Sox Prediction & Pick: Diamondbacks -1.5 (+104), Over 9 (-104)
