Thursday MLB Pick

The Arizona Diamondbacks will go for a sweep of the Chicago White Sox when they close out their 3-game set in an early one today on the south side. The D-Backs have outscored the lowly Sox, 18-4, over the first two games and are expected to send Bryce Travis to the hill. Travis is perfect, at 2-0, with a 2.45 ERA and a WHIP of only 0.93. The White Sox are expected to have Touki Toussaint toeing the rubber and his numbers are not good. Toussaint is 4-7 with a 5.10 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP. Over his last 3 turns, his ERA has ballooned to 6.75 with a 1.69 WHIP. Arizona holds a 2 game lead over the Marlins and Cubs for the second Wild Card spot. They will finish out the season at home against the World Champion Houston Astros and that will not be a walk in the park so they need to take care of business today.
