White Sox and Nationals Likely to Struggle Despite Recent Run Production

The White Sox have gone 5-2 in their last seven games, but have lost two of their last three road encounters. With 15 runs in their last four games, their offensive struggles are likely to continue against right-handers. Gray has performed decently, giving up five runs in his last two starts, and seven runs in his last three. In comparison, the Nationals have lost 6 of their last 8; scoring 16 runs in their last four at home. However, they have hit well against right-handers and Scholten’s 14 runs given up over his last three starts, 8 of them in his last two road outings make them good candidates to cover the money line.
