Preview – Starting Pitchers and Lineups
White Sox starting pitcher
David Sadlin will be on the mound for Chicago on Sunday. The righty pitcher carries a 1-1 record and a high 8.10 ERA.
Sandlin relies on a riding four-seam fastball with a sweeping slider. His success on Sunday will depend on executing his secondary pitches. The righty pitcher will also need to avoid critical mistakes over the middle of the plate.
White Sox Lineup
- LF: Sam Antonacci (L)
- 3B: Miguel Vargas (R)
- DH: Andrew Benintendi (L)
- SS: Colson Montgomery (L)
- 2B: Chase Meidroth (R)
- 1B: Jacob Gonzalez (L)
- CF: Tristan Peters (L)
- C: Drew Romo (S)
- RF: Rikuu Nishida (L)
Phillies starting pitcher
Aaron Nola will take the bump for the Phillies on Sunday. The All-Star righty holds a 3- record and an inflated 5.55 ERA.
Nola attacks sluggers with a sharp, moving sinker, devastating knuckle curve and a fading changeup. He will need to command the outer edges of the zone to neutralize Chicago’s versatile lefties like Colson Montgomery and Andrew Benintendi.
Phillies Lineup
- DH: Kyle Schwarber (L)
- SS: Trea Turner (R)
- 1B: Bryce Harper (L)
- LF: Brandon Marsh (L)
- 3B: Alec Bohm (R)
- 2B: Bryson Stott (L)
- C: J.T. Realmuto (R)
- RF: Adolis Garcia (R)
- CF: Justin Crawford (L)
Prediction: Phillies 7, White Sox 4
The starting pitching matchup favors Philadelphia. Moreover, the lethal Phillies offense featuring Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper will likely attack David Sandlin early. Backing the Phillies Money Line (-167) is a logical bet.
Sandlin is prone to giving up hard contact. He also struggles to pitch deep into games. As such, the Phillies’ Run Line at -1.5 (+119) is a good plus-money investment.
Citizens Bank Park is a hitter-friendly venue that amplifies fly-ball power. Expect the Phillies’ bats to carry the heavy lifting while the Chicago Chips away, pushing the contest Over 9.5 (-114).
