White Sox on an upswing

Lucas Giolito gets the start for the White Sox this evening. He carries a 4-6 record with a 7.08 ERA and a 1.66 WHIP. Giolito has pitched a total of 61.0 innings this season and has 39 walks with 31 strikeouts.
MLB Betting Trends
Cleveland
The Indians have won five of Carrasco’s last six Monday starts and 21 of their last 27 Monday games overall. They also have won 39 of their last 52 division games.
Chicago
The White Sox are just 3-10 in their last 13 division games and 1-6 in their last seven games following a win.
Prediction:
Chicago is on a nice uptick, but I don’t see Giolito keeping that going because of his poor walk-to-strikeout rate. Cleveland has the hitters to beat him up and Carrasco should be able to allow less damage. He still has the ability to miss bats and can turn in a strong start.
The Pick: Cleveland Indians -225
