Today’s matchup is between the Baltimore Orioles (17-33) and the Chicago White Sox (29-20). The Orioles have won 0 of their last 5 games & the White Sox have won 3 of their last 5 games.
The Orioles are starting John Means (LHP), on the mound who is 4-0 on the season pitching a 1.79 ERA, 3.46 FIP, .223 wOBA, K% of 26.7%, BB% of 4.6%, 85.8 MPH average exit velocity, and a 0.75 WHIP in 65.1 innings pitched.
The White Sox are starting Lance Lynn (RHP), who is 5-1 on the season with a 1.51 ERA, 3.12 FIP, .236 wOBA, K% of 25.9%, BB% of 7.8%, 88.7 MPH average exit velocity, and a 0.97 WHIP in 47.2 innings pitched.
The Orioles are the 8th in the Majors in Relieving Pitching (WAR) while the White Sox are 7th.
On the hitting side, the Orioles have a .301 wOBA and a .301 OBP. The White Sox have a .328 wOBA and a .342 OBP. The Orioles have 46 HRs this season while the White Sox have 46 HRs.
This should be a tightly contested low scoring game. I like the value a lot at +158 Orioles to win. Starting & relieving is even while the Sox have the better hitting team. It's not by much though which is why I like the O's.
