Today’s matchup is between the Chicago White Sox (33-22) and the Cleveland Indians (30-24). The White Sox have won 4 of their last 5 games & the Indians have won 2 of their last 5 games.
The White Sox are starting Lance Lynn (RHP), on the mound who is 6-1 on the season pitching a 1.37 ERA, 2.85 FIP, .279 wOBA, K% of 26.9%, BB% of 7.1%, 88.1 MPH average exit velocity, and a 0.93 WHIP in 52.2 innings pitched.
The Indians are starting Eli Morgan (RHP), who is 0-1 on the season with a 20.25 ERA, 9.49 FIP, .672 wOBA, K% of 5.9%, BB% of 11.8%, 89.6 MPH average exit velocity, and a 3.75 WHIP in 2.2 innings pitched.
The White Sox are 3rd in the Majors in Relieving Pitching (WAR) while the Indians are 11th.
On the hitting side, the White Sox have a .331 wOBA and a .343 OBP. The Indians have a .294 wOBA and a .291 OBP. The White Sox have 53 HRs this season while the Indians have 62 HRs.
There isn't much to go off about Eli Morgan as he got shelled in his first starting of 2.2 innings. Lance Lynn's having a real good season and the White Sox have better relievers. I'll take -165 White Sox vs an unproven/shaky Eli Morgan.
