I think the value we are getting with the White Sox is too good to pass up. We see two RHP on the mound in this one and I think both starters will go onto have strong 2023 campaigns in the end, but I can't get behind this price that Houston is laying, even at home. The Astros really struggled in the second half of the regular season vs. RHP and against Dylan Cease on Thursday, Houston had 1 hit through the first six innings with 9 strikeouts and no walks. The White Sox had a lot more competitive at-bats and were a team that limited strikeouts well in 2022, which bodes well against a starter in Cristian Javier who relies on Ks. I don't think Javier will get shelled in this game, but I can definitely see the Sox getting to him for a few runs early. Both of these bullpens are strong and this sets up to be a low-scoring contest. I will take a shot with the road underdogs here, as this is a price we won't get later in the season with Lynn or the Chi Sox. You can take the +1.5 on the RL for extra insurance, but my bet is on the ML at + money. 

Ron’s Pick Chicago White Sox: +142
