Best and worst MLB starting pitchers to bet on in September
Marc Lawrence

J.A. Happ was having a good season with the Toronto Blue Jays and has thrived in Yankee pinstripes with an ERA under 2.40.

Like our waistlines after a tasty Labor Day barbeque, MLB rosters expand to accommodate September, the final month of the season. And as College Football and the NFL barge onto the scene, MLB pitchers take the final spotlight in hopes of leading their teams on to the playoff trail. The question is which ones can we count on and which ones figure to be candidates for offseason Weight Watchers meetings?

Listed below are hurlers that have enjoyed a two-to-one or better success ratio in team starts the last three seasons during the month of September. On the flip side, we’ve also listed pitchers that struggle in September team starts, winning 33% percent or less of their efforts. To qualify pitchers must have made a minimum of 10 starts, with at least one start each September over the last three years.

Note: * designates a categorical repeat appearance by this pitcher, maintaining status quo from last season’s September’s list. Enjoy the games.

GOOD SEPTEMBER PITCHERS:

Carlos Carrasco, Cleveland Indians • 11-4 (7-2 H)

Carrasco is once again finishing the season with a flourish. Since July, he has really gotten in an excellent groove and is on pace to have his fourth straight strong year as a starter. Playing mostly weak opponents all month, Carrasco and Cleveland should pile up more wins this month.

Cole Hamels, Chicago Cubs • 13-4 (7-2 H)

Hamels has stepped right into the Chicago Cubs rotation and has been motivated by the chance to get back to the playoffs. Cubs coaches have fine-tuned Hamels pitch selection and as a result his ERA is 0.69 with Chicago.

J.A. Happ, New York Yankees • 11-4 (9-0 A)

Happ is another hurler dialed in with a team that is heading to the postseason. The All Star left-hander was having a good season and has thrived in the Yankee pinstripes with an ERA under 2.40. Likely, more winning days ahead.

* Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles Dodgers • 12-4 (6-2 A)

Remember all the talk of the “sky is falling” about Kershaw? Let's face it his ERA was almost 3.00, which by human standards is fantastic. But not for Kershaw, evidently. Since coming off the DL he's been dealing and guess what, his ERA this season now matches his career norms. Look for more W's in September.

Jon Lester, Chicago Cubs • 13-4 (7-2 H)

After a few bumpy starts in July and August, Lester has gotten back on track and looks to be ready to be the clutch pitcher he's been throughout his career. The lefty has actually been tougher on the road, with more strikeouts, fewer walks and lower batting average allowed as compared to at Wrigley.

Carlos Martinez, St. Louis Cardinals • 11-5 (6-2 A)

Not sure what to expect from Martinez at the moment. He's not pitched since July 30th and been on the DL with shoulder inflammation. His ERA has steadily been rising since June and his walks are way up. Stay tuned.

Max Scherzer, Washington Nationals • 13-4 (7-0 A)

As great as Mad Max has pitched since 2013, this year is setting up to be his masterpiece, even on a .500 team. Scherzer's at a career-low for ERA, opposing batters are hitting under.190 against him and have an OBP of under .250. This is not supposed to happen to 34-year-old pitchers. #magnificent

Luis Severino, New York Yankees • 10-1 (4-0 A)

The Yankees ace was pitching like Scherzer before running into trouble the middle of July. There is no doubt he struggled for a long stretch, however, upon closer inspection, his WHIP, batting average allowed and ERA are very close to career norms. Look for Severino to be fine this month. Note: the 10-1 record is also career mark for Severino.

* Stephen Strasburg, Washington Nationals • 9-1 (3-0 A)

Once again, Strasburg, after a stellar start, landed on the DL. He's made a couple of late August starts and not been impressive. Typically he finds ways to win games late in the season, even without his best stuff. But can this occur every year?

Josh Tomlin, Cleveland Indians • 10-3 (6-0 A)

Tomlin was terrible early for the Tribe and was sent to the bullpen and later landed on the DL. Unless he comes back and is fantastic, the 33-year might only get a spot start or two to see if he can make the playoff roster.

* Justin Verlander, Houston Astros • 12-4 (7-2 A)

The Astros right-hander is on pace to produce a magnificent season like he did in 2011-12 and with Detroit. Like the other great pitchers that are Verlander's age, he made the adjustment and has continued to be outstanding.


BAD SEPTEMBER PITCHERS:

* Chris Archer, Pittsburgh Pirates • 3-13 (1-9 A)

It turns out Archer is anything but an ace as his career continues to spiral downward. All those years of him just pitching "in tough luck" cannot hide the fact his record is well below .500 and with an ERA to match. Look for more of the same this month.

Ivan Nova, Pittsburgh Pirates • 3-10 (1-5 A)

Month by month, Nova has had an 'incredible' season. His first month he's at a 3.37 ERA, which is followed by 7.51. Nova rebounds exceptionally at 1.75 in June and July he's back up to 5.53. August gave us 4.44. September?

* Chris Sale, Boston Red Sox • 5-10 (2-5 H)

Boston fans and backers have to be concerned with Sale being on the DL twice since July. Their near perfect season could take a major hit if Sale is not pitching well come late September before the playoffs. Buyer beware.

Jordan Zimmermann, Detroit Tigers • 3-7 (2-5 H)

Zimmerman was on the “Play On” September list last year, but a winless September in 2017 bounces him to the “Play Against” category this season. Similar to other pitchers on this list, Zimmermann is a roller-coaster ride. Here we go again!

Preview: Tigers at Yankees
Gracenote
Aug 31, 2018

The New York Yankees have not been shy about making moves this summer to help them make a push for the American League East crown, and they did so again Thursday by reportedly acquiring Andrew McCutchen from San Francisco. The five-time All-Star could debut with his new team as early as Friday as the Yankees host the Detroit Tigers for the second contest of their four-game series.

Minutes after New York dropped a gut-wrenching 8-7 decision to Detroit in Thursday's opener, it reportedly traded for McCutchen, presumably in an attempt to fill the void in the outfield created by Aaron Judge's wrist injury late last month. The former National League MVP would join fellow trade acquisitions Zach Britton, J.A. Happ and Lance Lynn with the Yankees, who fell eight games behind Boston in the AL East but remained 4 1/2 ahead of Oakland for the first wild card. The Tigers entered the series ranked last in the major leagues with 106 home runs but belted five against New York, including Niko Goodrum's tiebreaking solo shot that capped a three-run rally in the ninth inning. Detroit snapped its five-game losing streak as a result, winning for only the eighth time in 26 contests this month.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, FS Detroit, YES (New York)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Tigers RH Jordan Zimmermann (6-6, 4.38 ERA) vs. Yankees RH Luis Severino (17-6, 3.27)

Zimmermann's second-half struggles continued in Sunday's loss to the Chicago White Sox as he surrendered five runs and eight hits in six innings. Although he has worked at least six frames in four of his last five turns, the 32-year-old is 2-5 with a 5.50 ERA since the All-Star break after going 4-1 with a 3.71 mark during the first half. Giancarlo Stanton (7-for-32, five walks) has recorded three homers and nine strikeouts versus Zimmermann, who is 3-1 with a 3.09 ERA in five career starts against the Yankees.

Severino has yet to rediscover his first-half form, but he has managed to win three of his last four starts - including Sunday's victory at Baltimore in which he allowed three runs - two earned - over 5 2/3 innings. The two-time All-Star has fanned eight batters in each of his recent wins, allowing him to move 11 strikeouts away from his second straight season with at least 200. Nicholas Castellanos (6-for-12) is one of the few Tigers who has fared well against Severino, who is 3-1 with a 2.19 ERA in four career starts versus Detroit.

WALK-OFFS

1. Stanton reached 300 career homers in his 1,119th career game on Thursday, becoming the fifth-quickest player to hit the plateau in major-league history.

2. Detroit DH Victor Martinez on Thursday registered his first multi-homer performance since July 21, 2017 by belting a pair of shots.

3. New York 2B Gleyber Torres has reached base 11 times in his last four contests and is batting .400 over his last 14 games.

PREDICTION: Yankees 6, Tigers 2

Preview: Brewers at Nationals
Gracenote
Aug 30, 2018

Jhoulys Chacin was one of the more under-the-radar signings in the offseason, but the veteran right-hander is among the biggest reasons that the Milwaukee Brewers are in the thick of the postseason chase. Chacin can match his career high in wins when he goes for his 14th victory in Friday's opener of a three-game series at the Washington Nationals.

Milwaukee, which is 19-9 in games started by Chacin, is jockeying with St. Louis for the top wild card in the National League. Lorenzo Cain, another offseason acquisition, extended his hitting streak to a career-best 12 games with a go-ahead homer in the 11th inning of Thursday's 2-1 win over Cincinnati as the Brewers improved to 7-3 in their last 10. Washington, which had a three-game winning streak snapped in an 8-6 loss to Philadelphia on Wednesday, has been playing .500 ball for most the the past two months and offering no sign it can make a run at a wild-card spot. Right-hander Tanner Roark has lost a career-most 13 games but has been one of the best pitchers in baseball the past five weeks, starting with a dominating performance in Milwaukee last month.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, FS Wisconsin (Milwaukee), MASN (Washington)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Brewers RH Jhoulys Chacín (13-5, 3.61 ERA) vs. Nationals RH Tanner Roark (8-13, 3.95)

Chacin had his three-start winning streak snapped last time out, giving up three runs on eight hits and four walks over six innings in a loss to Pittsburgh. He was superb in his previous two outings, yielding only seven hits across 13 scoreless innings, and beat the Nationals on July 23 with 5 2/3 innings of one-run ball. Chacin has made nine career starts against Washington, posting a 4-2 record and 3.06 ERA.

Roark was a hard-luck loser at the New York Mets on Saturday, coming out on the short end of a 3-0 decision after permitting one run on four hits over six innings. The 31-year-old has surrendered only eight earned runs over the last seven turns, including a win at Milwaukee on July 25 in which he struck out 11 over eight scoreless innings. Christian Yelich is 9-for-36 with one extra-base hit against Roark.

WALK-OFFS

1. Yelich leads the NL with a .316 batting average after going 8-for-15 with three homers and nine RBIs versus the Reds.

2. Nationals RF Bryce Harper, battling a bad cough, is in a 3-for-20 slump.

3. Brewers LHP Dan Jennings rolled his ankle in Thursday's win and had to be assisted off the field.

Preview: Cubs at Phillies
Gracenote
Aug 31, 2018

A day after helping the Philadelphia Phillies gain ground in the National League East race, the Chicago Cubs will try to damage the host Phillies’ playoff hopes when the NL contenders begin a three-game series Friday. Chicago leads the NL Central by 4 1/2 games over St. Louis after opening an 11-game road trip with a 5-4 win Thursday at Atlanta, which leads the Phillies by three games in the NL East.

The Phillies have lost eight of their last 11, but they rallied for an 8-6 win over Washington on Wednesday and gained ground thanks to the Cubs’ win over Atlanta on their day off. After the Cubs leave town, the Phillies will play 12 of their next 15 against teams with losing record, but first they have to deal with the NL’s best team - and one of its hottest. Chicago has won eight of its last nine and expects to have former MVP Kris Bryant back in the lineup as early as Saturday for the first time since July 23. The Cubs haven’t lost a series since dropping two of three at St. Louis from July 27-29.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, MLB Network, NBCS Chicago Plus, NBC 10 (Philadelphia)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Cubs LH Jose Quintana (11-9, 4.33 ERA) vs. Phillies RH Nick Pivetta (7-10, 4.76)

Quintana has been inconsistent, but he has pitched better in his last two outings, allowing three runs over 10 innings. The 29-year-old held Cincinnati to two runs over five frames in a win Saturday, snapping a three-start winless streak. Quintana is 0-1 with a 5.94 ERA in three starts against the Phillies.

Pivetta started the month with three straight quality starts, but he has been knocked around in his last two outings. The 25-year-old was tagged for five runs over 6 2/3 innings in a no-decision at Toronto on Saturday after giving up six runs in 3 2/3 frames in his previous outing versus the New York Mets. Pivetta is 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA in two meetings with the Cubs.

WALK-OFFS

1. Chicago 2B/OF Ben Zobrist is 10-for-21 with four multi-hit games during a five-game hitting streak.

2. Phillies C Jorge Alfaro is 8-for-26 with two homers and five RBIs during a seven-game hitting streak.

3. Cubs OF Jason Heyward left Thursday’s game with a right hamstring injury after diving for a ball in the outfield and is day-to-day.

Preview: Rays at Indians
Gracenote
Aug 31, 2018

Tommy Pham is beginning to flaunt some power after a slow start with his new team and hopes to continue the surge when the Tampa Bay Rays visit the American League Central-leading Cleveland Indians for the opener of a three-game set Friday night. Pham is 11-for-23 with a pair of homers and five RBIs in his last five games after going 2-for-22 in his first seven contests with the Rays following a trade deadline deal with St. Louis.

Tampa Bay has won nine of its last 10 games to sit on the fringe of the AL wild-card race, producing 37 runs over the past five contests, and manager Kevin Cash told reporters: “We’re getting a lot of contributions, a lot of good at-bats.” It will be difficult to continue that type of offense in the series opener as the Indians send two-time Cy Young winner Corey Kluber to the mound against Rays fireballer Tyler Glasnow. Cleveland took the rubber match of a three-game set against Minnesota on Thursday afternoon 5-3, improving to 41-25 at home, and has won four consecutive season series against Tampa Bay (4-3 in 2017). Jason Kipnis is beginning to turn around a rough season while going 9-for-15 with two homers and seven RBIs over the last four games for the Indians, and is batting .318 with 15 RBIs in 30 career contests versus the Rays.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, FS Sun (Tampa Bay), SportsTime Ohio (Cleveland)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rays RH Tyler Glasnow (1-3, 4.18 ERA) vs. Indians RH Corey Kluber (16-7, 2.91)

Glasnow has yet to win in his first five outings since coming over from Pittsburgh at the trade deadline but has a 3.80 ERA and 32 strikeouts over 23 2/3 innings. The 25-year-old California native gave up three runs on five hits and three walks across five innings against Kansas City in a no-decision last Thursday. Glasnow faces Cleveland for the first time and is 1-2 with a 5.85 ERA on the road overall this season.

Kluber had an uncharacteristic outing against one of the major league’s worst offenses last Saturday, yielding five runs over 5 1/3 innings in a setback at Kansas City. The 32-year-old Alabama native had won his previous four decisions over five starts, posting a 2.21 ERA in that stretch. C.J. Cron is 3-for-5 with two doubles versus Kluber, who is 4-2 with a 2.44 ERA in eight career contests against Tampa Bay.

WALK-OFFS

1. Cleveland C Yan Gomes, who was rested Thursday, is 11-for-23 with a homer during a six-game hitting streak.

2. Tampa Bay 2B/OF Brandon Lowe is 10-for-28 with a homer and eight RBIs in his last 10 games after starting his major-league career 0-for-19.

3. Indians LF Michael Brantley has recorded multiple hits in seven of his last games, going 15-for-43 in that stretch.

Preview: Blue Jays at Marlins
Gracenote
Aug 30, 2018

Aaron Sanchez could use a strong finish to another injury-marred campaign as he and the Toronto Blue Jays glance toward improvement in 2019. Sanchez will try to recover from a rocky start his last time out when he climbs the hill for the Blue Jays in the opener of a three-game series at the Miami Marlins on Friday.

The 26-year-old, who has struggled to stay healthy since a dynamic All-Star effort in 2016, gave up six runs over four innings in his return from the disabled list against Philadelphia on Saturday. Sanchez will be tasked with trying to get the Blue Jays out of their latest slide, which reached four straight losses with Wednesday's 10-5 loss at Baltimore. They've been outscored 37-13 during the losing streak and have lost seven in a row on the road - their longest such slide since a seven-gamer in 2014 - while posting a 9.77 ERA in that stretch. The Marlins lost leads in back-to-back games at Fenway Park earlier in the week, including Wednesday's affair in which the bullpen was rocked for 11 runs in one inning of a 14-6 loss.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, Sportsnet, TVA (Toronto), FS Florida (Miami)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Blue Jays RH Aaron Sanchez (3-5, 4.95 ERA) vs. Marlins RH Dan Straily (5-6, 4.35)

Sanchez is 4-8 with a 4.74 ERA in 24 starts over the last two years after going 15-2 with an American League-leading 3.00 mark in 2016. Despite the rocky outing against the Phillies, he is 4-1 with a 2.68 mark in his career in interleague play. The California native has never faced the Marlins.

Straily snapped a five-game winless streak with six scoreless innings against Atlanta last Friday. His one interleague game this year resulted in seven innings of one-run ball at Tampa Bay on July 20, and the 29-year-old is 7-5 with a 3.87 ERA in his career against the opposing league. Kendrys Morales is 4-for-9 with two homers, one double and two walks against Straily.

WALK-OFFS

1. Morales is 0-for-8 with three strikeouts in two games since he put together a streak of seven straight contests with a home run.

2. Marlins C J.T. Realmuto is 5-for-11 with a home run, a double and five RBIs during a three-game hitting streak.

3. Toronto won five of the last six meetings, including all three when the teams last met in 2015.

Preview: Pirates at Braves
Gracenote
Aug 31, 2018

The Pittsburgh Pirates won 11 games in a row in July, but that success is only a fading memory heading into the opener of a three-game road series Friday at the Atlanta Braves. The Pirates fell 5-0 on Thursday at St. Louis - their 20th defeat in the past 32 games - and stand at 2-4 on their current nine-game road trip as they head to Atlanta to face a team that leads the National League East by three games and completed a three-game sweep in Pittsburgh last week.

Catcher Francisco Cervelli has reached base in 13 consecutive games for Pittsburgh after going 1-for-4 on Thursday and is hitting .298 in that stretch while left fielder Adam Frazier is batting .344 with 12 doubles and four homers since returning from the minors July 25. Atlanta has dropped two of three to begin a nine-game homestand, losing 5-4 on Thursday to the Chicago Cubs. Rookie outfielder Ronald Acuna continues bolstering his case for NL Player of the Month, finishing 3-for-5 with two runs scored Thursday to raise his average to .339 with 10 homers, 20 RBIs and 24 runs scored in August. Catcher Kurt Suzuki, who doubled and drove home a run, has hits in 10 of his past 11 games with four doubles, a homer, four RBIs and seven runs scored.

TV: 7:35 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet - Pittsburgh, FS South (Atlanta)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Pirates RH Jameson Taillon (10-9, 3.49 ERA) vs. Braves RH Anibal Sanchez (6-5, 3.05)

Taillon looks to end August with another strong outing after going 2-1 with a 2.33 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP in his first four turns this month. The 26-year-old has pitched to a 2.54 ERA in seven starts since the All-Star break after posting a 3.91 ERA in the first half and allowed only one run in six innings in each of his past two starts (a no-decision Aug. 19 against the Cubs and a win Saturday against Milwaukee). Taillon, who has never faced Atlanta, has surrendered three earned runs or fewer in 16 consecutive starts.

Sanchez lost his past two outings despite giving up just four runs on nine hits in 12 1/3 innings, in part because the Atlanta offense scored only three runs combined against Colorado on Aug. 19 and Miami on Saturday. The 34-year-old has regressed a bit in the second half, allowing six homers while posting a 3.82 ERA in 37 2/3 innings after allowing just seven home runs and owning a 2.60 ERA in 65 2/3 innings before the All-Star break. Sanchez is 3-5 with a 3.62 career ERA in eight starts against Pittsburgh.

WALK-OFFS

1. Acuna’s 38 hits in August is the most by a Braves' 20-year-old since Hank Aaron collected 37 in July of 1954.

2. Pittsburgh OF Gregory Polanco has recorded at least one RBI in four of his past six games. He has also collected at least one hit in eight of his past 10 games is batting .325 in that span.

3. The Braves outscored the Pirates 9-2 in sweeping the three-game series last week.

Preview: Twins at Rangers
Gracenote
Aug 30, 2018

The Minnesota Twins are a second-place club while the Texas Rangers are buried in last place in their division, but neither team has much to play for as they close out the month of August. The Twins and Rangers are separated by only 4 1/2 games in the standings as they prepare to kick off a three-game series Friday night at Texas' Globe Life Park.

Minnesota lost two of three in Cleveland to open a nine-game road trip to fall 14 games behind the first-place Indians in the American League Central. The Twins are in a 1-5 slide and struggling to stay healthy - shortstop Jorge Polanco (hamstring) has missed the past three games and Eddie Rosario left Thursday's loss with a strained right quadriceps that could sideline him for the weekend series. The punchless Rangers have dropped four in a row and six of eight, scoring one run or fewer four times in that span. Adrian Beltre had an RBI double in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers to move into a tie with Robin Yount for 17th on the career hits list (3,142).

TV: 8:05 p.m. ET, FS North (Minnesota), FS Southwest Plus (Texas)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Twins LH Stephen Gonsalves (0-2, 11.37 ERA) vs. Rangers RH Drew Hutchison (2-2, 6.52)

Gonsalves will make his third career start and first on the road after giving up four runs and seven hits, including a three-run homer, over five innings in a loss to Oakland on Saturday. He had a forgettable major-league debut against the Chicago White Sox on Aug. 20, lasting only 1 1/3 innings while allowing four runs and six hits. Gonsalves was 9-3 with a 2.96 ERA at Triple-A Rochester.

After making 11 relief appearances with the Philadelphia Phillies, Hutchison is poised for his fifth start since joining the Rangers. A former 13-game winner with Toronto in 2015, he was tagged for six runs and seven hits in a no-decision at San Francisco last time out. Joe Mauer is 3-for-7 with four RBIs against Hutchison, who has failed to pitched past 5 1/3 innings in his four starts with Texas.

WALK-OFFS

1. Twins 3B Miguel Sano homered Thursday but is 3-for-35 with 15 strikeouts in his last 10 games.

2. Rangers LHP Martin Perez, who was scheduled to start the series finale, was moved to the bullpen for the rest of the season.

3. Minnesota traded C Bobby Wilson to the Chicago Cubs for C Chris Gimenez.

PREDICTION: Rangers 5, Twins 4

Preview: Red Sox at White Sox
Gracenote
Aug 31, 2018

Highly regarded prospect Michael Kopech faces his former organization for the first time when the Chicago White Sox host the Boston Red Sox on Friday for the second contest of their four-game series. The 22-year-old right-hander was a first-round pick of the Red Sox in 2014 but was shipped to Chicago as part of the package for Chris Sale in December 2016.

Kopech refused to participate in the usual media session with reporters on Thursday, saying he would discuss the Red Sox after Friday's outing, but White Sox manager Rick Renteria was happy to dissect the youngster's arsenal of pitches. "Hopefully, he continues to develop, continues to command the zone," Renteria told reporters. "It's electric stuff. Hopefully, he'll just continue to trust himself, which he is doing, and just enjoy being here. Know that he's capable of doing what he's doing because of this tremendous gift he has." The Red Sox overcame a four-run deficit to post a 9-4 victory in Thursday's series opener to stretch their lead over the New York Yankees in the American League East to 8 1/2 games. J.D. Martinez slugged his 39th homer - a three-run shot - to tie Oakland's Khris Davis for the major-league lead.

TV: 8:10 p.m. ET, NESN (Boston), NBCS Chicago

PITCHING MATCHUP: Red Sox RH Nathan Eovaldi (5-6, 4.15 ERA) vs. White Sox RH Michael Kopech (1-0, 1.13)

Eovaldi has lost consecutive starts and is winless his last four after winning his first two outings for the Red Sox. The 28-year-old was rocked for six runs - five earned - and eight hits over four innings by Tampa Bay in his last turn. Eovaldi is 1-0 with a 3.52 ERA in two career appearances (one start) against the White Sox.

Kopech earned his first major-league victory in his last turn, when he gave up one run and seven hits over six innings against Detroit. The phenom made his debut on Aug. 21 against Minnesota and struck out four in two scoreless innings but did not return after a 52-minute rain delay. Kopech went 7-7 with a 3.70 ERA and 170 strikeouts over 126 1/3 innings in 24 starts at Triple-A Charlotte.

WALK-OFFS

1. Red Sox RF Mookie Betts hit a two-run blast in the series opener and is 7-for-12 with five walks, two homers and six RBIs over his last four games.

2. Chicago LF Avisail Garcia, who is batting just .159 this month, homered and drove in three runs in the series opener.

3. Boston 2B Ian Kinsler recorded three hits on Thursday for his fifth multi-hit performance in seven contests.

PREDICTION: Red Sox 7, White Sox 3
