MLB Pick
- Over 7 (-110) at Bet365 (check our Bet365 Review)
Chicago White Sox vs. San Diego Padres
Friday, September 20, 2024 – 09:40 PM ET at Petco Park
Our AI Model believes the White Sox and Padres will combine to score 9.6 runs tonight. With the total currently at just 7, you’ll want to consider the Over in tonight’s ball game.
Inconsistency For Garrett Crochet
The White Sox found a gem in Garret Crochet. The left-handed pitcher has been a stud for this team, earning nearly 35% of strikeouts this season.
That said, the White Sox are careful with his innings, and fatigue has started settling in. After all, Crochet has allowed a .241 ISO and wOBA of .354 to his last 56 batters faced. He’ll add a bunch of strikeouts, but once he’s tagged, he runs score pretty quickly now.
San Diego isn’t nearly as good at hitting lefties, but Manny Machado is hitting at an above-average rate. If he’s on, the team is usually on.
Musgrove Won’t Let Up Much Damage
Joe Musgrove will take the hill for the Padres. The right-hander has been excellent recently, holding his last 114 batters to a .119 ISO and wOBA of .247. Still, he’s allowed 33.8% of fly balls and rarely induces ground balls. He’s also allowed 45.9% of hard contact and a barrel percentage nearing 11.
Even if the White Sox score a couple of runs, that should be enough for the Over.
The Pick
Let’s side with the AI Model and take the Over 7.
