On September 1st at 08:10, the Chicago White Sox, facing an 8-game losing streak, will have Davis Martin (2 losses, 2.96 ERA) attempting to secure his first win of the season. In his last home game against Detroit on the 27th, Martin pitched 5 innings, allowing 7 hits and 1 run. He tends to be strong at home but has struggled on the road recently. It’s undeniable that he can endure 5 innings at home. The Mets’ lineup, which scored 5 runs including a 2-run home run by JD Martinez against Cannon and Toussaint in the previous game, is fortunate to maintain their offensive rhythm on the road. However, it’s disappointing that they managed only 1 run against Toussaint. I’m not sure why the bullpen, which removed 3.2 innings, continues to use Edwin Diaz for three consecutive games.
The New York Mets, who have succeeded with a balanced attack, will have Jose Quintana (6 wins, 9 losses, 4.36 ERA) seeking his 7th win of the season. Quintana showed strong performance with 6.1 innings, allowing 4 hits and no runs, in his away game against San Diego on the 26th, which is encouraging as he overcame earlier struggles in August. The fact that he rebounded on the road raises expectations for this game. In the previous game, the White Sox's lineup managed only 1 run in the first inning against Megil, reflecting a weak offense. Having all scoring from Benintendi in consecutive games is something to reflect on. Fortunately, Toussaint managed to pitch 4 innings alone.
Can the faltering White Sox offense come back to life? Currently, that seems quite unlikely. It won’t be easy to tackle Quintana either. Martin has the potential to hold on at home, but since Cannon struggled in the last game and the White Sox bullpen is not reliable, the stronger New York Mets are closer to victory.
Predicted score: 5-2 in favor of the New York Mets
Handicap: New York Mets victory
Over/Under: Under
