This is not last year's Chicago White Sox, a team that lost 99 games. They are three games over .500 and have added a lot of punch to the lineup an have a couple of strong arms at the top of the rotation. One of those belongs to Jose Quintana who has a 5-7 record, but deserves better as he has pitched to a 3.24 ERA on the season, and few have been better over the last month or so. Quintana has allowed just 6 runs in his last 35.2 innings of work. Scott Feldman has been pedestrian on the hill for Houston at 4-6 with a 4.33 ERA on the season. The Stros are also just 1-6 when he takes the mound as a road dog in his last seven. It hasn't been pretty when Houston takes on a left-handed pitcher where they are 17-62 against one on the road in their last 79 tries. I'm going with the hot hand, so make the play the White Sox.
