Baltimore at Chicago

Baltimore is in a pennant race with a talented offense, #10 in runs scored, third in slugging. The Orioles are 16-5 following a win and 21-7 against the AL Central. Baltimore has ace Chris Tillman (14-3, 3.46 ERA) on the hill, 46-22 in his last 68 starts. Baltimore owns a 19-4 mark in 23 starts this season by Tillman, who has permitted just two runs or fewer in five of his last six trips to the mound. He has dominated this light-hitting Chicago team with a 3-1 record and a 3.29 ERA in five career outings. The White Sox are #24 in runs scored, #21 in on-base percentage and #27 in slugging. Chicago LF Melky Cabrera is 2-for-19 in his last four games overall and 4-for-22 versus Baltimore this season. The White Sox trot of lefty Carlos Rodon (2-8, 4.67 ERA), with batters hitting .297 off him for the season. Rodon allowed five runs on eight hits and two walks over 6.1 innings to take the loss Sunday at the Twins, 6-4. He's allowed 25 hits and 15 runs his last three starts (17 innings). The White Sox are just 16-35 against a right-handed starter, plus 4-10 when following a loss, and the visitors hold all the cards, so back Baltimore.
