400♦ Chicago White Sox
List both Floyd & Pettitte as starting pitchers or this play is void
Take the White Sox tonight as they bounce back from an awful road swing at home.
With all due respect to the Yankees 11-2 record since the All-Star break given the fact Pettitte is pitching tonight there is no reason they should be a road favorite. Not when Pettitte has gone over a month since winning last going 0-3 with an ERA of 6.38 in his last four starts. Even worst numbers for Pettitte to overcome is his 0-6 mark with an ERA of 8.66 in his last seven series starts against the White Sox with his last win against Chicago coming a decade ago in 1996.
Chicago, meanwhile, will counter with Floyd who is a perfect 4-0 record with an ERA of 2.03 over his last seven home starts. Even better it’s Floyd who is a solid 5-1 with an ERA of 2.61 over his last 10 starts as the White Sox won 7 of those 10 games.
Simple, given that the White Sox huge edge on the mound tonight and that they won 11 of their last 15 games at home I expect for Chicago to open tonight’s series a winner.
All Chicago!
