The Chicago White Sox and the Philadelphia Phillies will meet up on the MLB diamond(mlb championship rings) Sunday to finish their series.



In the opener of this set Friday, the Sox(custom Chicago White Sox championship rings) eked out a 4-3 win. On Saturday, Philly returned the favor with a 3-2 win. For the Sunday game, the White Sox will bring out Reynaldo Lopez for the start. Over his 124.1 innings and 5-9 record this year, Lopez has a 5.43 ERA with 117 Ks and 46 BBs. Chicago put up five hits in the Saturday game, and could only score in two different innings. Jon Jay was the only other player on the Sox lineup with two hits, and he also had an RBI. Over on the Phillies’ side, they’re going with Drew Smyly on Sunday. Across 64.1 innings and a 2-5 record this season, Smyly has a 6.85 ERA with 65 Ks and 37 BBs.

Philly only recorded four hits in the win Saturday, but made them count. Harper and Hoskins each hit solo home runs to set the pace.

The White Sox are 2-5 in their last seven Sunday games and 1-6 in their last seven in game three of a series. Chicago is 1-4 in Lopez’s last five starts and 0-4 in his last four on grass.

Meanwhile, the Phillies(Philadelphia Phillies championship rings) are 5-0 in their last five Sunday games and 5-1 in their last six in game three of a series. The over is 5-2 in Philadelphia’s last seven Sunday games as well.

Lopez has a pretty nice run going over his last four starts, with three quality outings and a combined six earned over 26.1 innings. Thing is, he’s just 1-1 in that time.

As for Smyly, he has two good outings since coming to Philly, with one earned in 13.0 innings.

I like both pitchers here, but I’m leaning toward the Phillies(championship rings) due to offensive potential.

The Milwaukee Brewers and Oakland Athletics meet Thursday in MLB action(world series rings for sale) at Oakland Coliseum.

The Milwaukee Brewers look for a win after splitting their last eight games. The Brewers have scored 10 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in 10 of their last 12 games. The Milwaukee Brewers have won five of their last eight games when scoring four or more runs. Christian Yelich leads the Brewers with 124 hits and 80 RBI while Lorenzo Cain and Mike Moustakas have combined for 201 hits and 96 RBI. Chase Anderson gets the ball, and he is 5-2 with a 3.89 ERA and 85 strikeouts this season. Anderson is 1-0 with a 1.42 ERA and seven strikeouts in his career against the Athletics.



The Oakland Athletics(Oakland Athletics championship rings) look for a win after splitting their last eight games. The Athletics have scored 11 runs in their last three games and three or less runs in six of their last nine games. The Oakland Athletics have lost five of their last six games when scoring three or less runs. Marcus Semien leads the Athletics with 119 hits and 51 RBI while Ramon Laureano and Matt Chapman have combined for 211 hits and 220 RBI. Daniel Mengden gets the ball, and he is 5-2 with a 4.85 ERA and 41 strikeouts this season. This will be Mengden’s second career game against the Brewers.

The Brewers are 13-5 in their last 18 during game 3 of a series, 3-8 in their last 11 interleague games and 2-9 in their last 11 interleague road games. The Athletics are 8-1 in their last 9 during game 3 of a series, 9-4 in Mengdens last 13 home starts and 9-3 in Mengdens last 12 starts. The Brewers are 1-5 in the last 6 meetings in Oakland and the under is 7-0 in the last 7 meetings. The over is 4-1 in Mengdens last 5 starts overall. The under is 4-1 in Brewers last 5 overall.

Anderson has allowed 25 hits and 10 runs in his last 31 innings, but he has a 4.06 ERA and .279 allowed batting average on the road. Mengden has allowed 27 hits and 17 runs in his last 26.2 innings, and he has a 4.55 ERA and .238 allowed batting average at home. Mengden has also walked nine batters in his last 8.2 innings, so he's giving up homers and not finding his control. While I like backing the A's at home and it's only a matter of time before the offense bounces back, I have to side with the Milwaukee Brewers(cheap championship rings) here, as backing Mengden isn't an option for me in his current form.
