Pitching will be the story for White Sox and Astros in second elimination game of their ALDS series

If there is one thing the Houston Astros need to do tonight… it’s win a baseball game. 

‍

This post-season has been wild, and of course you can’t escape a baseball playoff series with some controversy. 

White Sox reliever Ryan Teperalevelled some sign-stealing accusations at the Astros the other day. So things are getting a little spicy.

But, focusing on the baseball… this elimination game 4 will come down to pitching.

The Astros have their ace Lance McCullers Jr. on the mound to try finishing off the White Sox.

In his Game 1 start in Houston, McCullers allowed just one hit through six innings and was pulled after 104 pitches with two outs in the seventh.

For Chicago, they left hander Carlos Rodon … who has a bad left shoulder. 

While the White Sox did get an extra day with the weather postponement, giving their bullpen an extra day … it’s hard to see a path to victory with Rodon not at 100%.

Especially when the Astros are sending their proven playoff performer to the hill.

This could be it for the White Sox season today… I’m taking Houston. 

Here are my picks: 

• Take Houston for the win (+100)
