    Written by on June 8, 2016

    MLB News and Betting Previews| Xbet.ag
    On Thursday, the Washington Nationals and the Chicago White Sox wrap up a three-game midweek series. The Nationals (35-23) are in first place in the National League East and won the opener, 10-5. The White Sox (29-29) are in fourth place in the American League Central and really need to turn things around after a hot start has turned into a mediocre first quarter of the season.

    Washington Nationals at Chicago White Sox MLB Lines Pick & TV Info

    When: Thursday, June 9, 8:10pm Eastern time Where: U.S. Cellular Field, Chicago TV: MASN2, WPWR Radio: Washington / Chicago Live Stream: MLB.tv MLB Odds: TBA Pitching Matchup: Gio Gonzalez (3-4, 3.94 ERA) (WAS) vs Miguel Gonzalez (0-1, 3.93 ERA) (CHI)

    Why Should You Bet on Washington?

    The White Sox are relying on spot starter Miguel Gonzalez in this game. This is Carlos Rodon’s spot in the rotation, but he is skipping a turn because of a soreness that runs from his neck down to his left bicep. Gonzalez through 1 ⅓ innings of scoreless relief against the Tigers on Sunday, and while none of the Nationals have more than seven career at-bats against Gonzalez, three of them (Stephen Drew, Danny Espinosa and Bryce Harper) have homered off him. Given that the Nats have scored 10 runs in two straight games now, this is an offense on fire.

    Why Should You Put Your Money on the White Sox?

    The Nationals are starting Gio Gonzalez on the mound, and his last three weeks have been a real turn for the worse, as his season ERA has climbed from 1.86 to its current 3.94. Not many of the White Sox have ever faced him (he spent much of his career in the National League, and this is an interleague matchup), but Alex Avila took him deep the only time he ever faced him. Todd Frazier hit his 19th home run for the White Sox in Tuesday’s loss, and Adam Eaton and Jose Abreu are also hitting well. The White Sox have the offense to stop this 6-19 skid.

    Expert Betting Pick and Final Score Prediction

    If the White Sox were sending Sale out there, or even another regular starter, I might pick them over Gio Gonzalez. However, with a spot starter on the hill, the Nationals will hit and hit often. I’m predicting an 8-5 Washington win.
