White Sox vs Athletics Free Pick July 5. 2017

Oakland has split the first two games of this home series versus Chicago, but I like the A’s in the rubber match with their ace on the mound Wednesday.

Sonny Gray will toe the slab for the A’s, and he’s coming off a solid outing. Gray (3-4, 4.09 ERA) allowed one run on two hits over eight innings in a 3-1 home loss to Atlanta his last time out. His previous start was a win at Chicago, allowing a pair of runs on four hits, striking out seven in seven innings. He’s 2-0 with a 2.27 ERA in five starts in day games in 2017.

The White Sox hand the ball to Mike Pelfrey, who allowed three runs on four hits over 4 2/3 innings in a 3-0 home loss to Oakland earlier this season. Pelfrey was 0-2 with a 3.65 ERA in two starts against the Athletics last season.

Chicago ranks near the bottom of the league, batting just .249 versus right-handed pitching.

The White Sox have lost 21 of their last 30 away from Chicago.

Take OAK.
