Why The White Sox Could Cover The Spread

Toussaint has been pitching well for the White Sox in his limited time. He has thrown 24 innings and allowed just 15 hits. That gives him an oBA of .190. He is doing a good job keeping hitters off balance and missing the barrel of the bat. The Mets are not the best hitting team, but they do have some pop. As long as Toussaint keeps the ball in the park, the White Sox should cover this spread.

The White Sox have been hitting the ball well since the All-Star break. In the last three games, they have scored 24 runs. If they can continue scoring at a high rate, the Mets will not be able to keep up. Chicago needs to stay locked in at the plate in a tough matchup, but they are showing the ability to score some runs lately.

Why The Mets Could Cover The Spread

Verlander is one of the best pitchers in baseball. However, he has not pitched like it this season. His last couple of starts have been a lot better, though. In his last four starts, Verlander has thrown 23 innings while allowing just five earned runs on 17 hits. His strikeouts are down a bit and he has walked a few, but Verlander has been solid lately. If he can go six or seven strong in this game, the Mets will cover the spread. The White Sox are a weaker hitting team, and they do not showcase a lot of power besides Luis Robert Jr and Jake Burger. Verlander should be able to handle Chicago in this start.

Final White Sox-Mets Prediction & Pick

The Mets have one of their aces on the mound and that is who I will roll with. Toussaint has been good, but he has struggled with his command. The Mets should be able to take advantage of that and give Verlander a big enough to lead to cover the spread.

Final White Sox-Mets Prediction & Pick: Mets -1.5 (-102), Under 9 (-120)
