You can bet the Astros-White Sox series for May 18 through 19 with Game 1 going to the Astros despite Chicago having an edge in this series.

The Astros are just 2-7 in the last 9 meetings in Chicago. The UNDER is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings and 7-2 in the last 9 meetings in Chicago.

Probable Starting Pitchers:

Wednesday – D. Fister (3-3, 4.22) vs. M. Latos (5-0, 3.40)

Thursday – C. McHugh (4-3, 5.58) vs. C. Hale (8-0, 1.67)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Astros RH Doug Fister (3-3, 4.22 ERA) vs. White Sox RH Mat Latos (5-0, 3.40)

The UNDER is 7-2 in the White Sox last 9 home games vs. a right-handed starter.

The UNDER is 3-0-3 in Fister’s last 6 starts overall.

Latos is 4-1 with a 3.86 ERA in seven career starts against the Astros and has experienced difficulties with Colby Rasmus (6-for-11).

Melky Cabrera (5-for-14) has struggled significantly against Fister and thus makes for an excellent DFS option Wednesday.

Go with the OVER 8.5 Wednesday.
