Game:Chicago White Sox at Kansas City Royals
When: Thursday, August 22nd at 10:10am AEST
Starters: Andre Rienzo 3.70 ERA vs Jeremy Guthrie 4.15 ERA - This will be Rienzo's 4th career start on the road and although the Whites Sox sit at the bottom of the AL central division hey seem to be playing solid baseball going 7-3 in their last 10. Guthrie over his career has gone 6-6 with a 3.30 ERA vs the WhiteSox. Last time they met on June 21 he got smacked for six runs and three walks in just 2.5 innings. He should do better tonight but we are leaning towards White Sox to win and making a play at the Under.
Game: Washington Nationals at Chicago Cubs
When: Thursday, August 22nd at 10:05am AEST
Starters: Ross Ohlendorf 1.85 ERA vs Jake Arrieta 4.91 ERA - A few months back the Nationals would have been hot favorites in a game like this. Now it just looks like the Nationals are not interested at all. They sit second in the NL East but 15.5 games behind Atlanta and 9.5 games behind in the Wild Card race. The Nationals think they are good - but they are not. The Cubs know they are bad-but they at least try to be better. The Cubs acquired Jake Arrieta from Baltimore and he gets his 3rd start tonight. He will be keen for the win in front of the home crowd at Wrigley Field.
