The Chicago White Sox battled back by scoring four runs in the bottom of the eighth to steal Game 1 of this series on Monday. They were afforded that chance because Johnny Cueto pitched like an ace as he allowed just one earned runs over eight innings of work.
However, the true aces will get their turns on Tuesday as Dylan Cease will get the ball for Chicago. Cease has been on a legendary tear and has not given up more than three earned runs in a start since May 29. The Astros lineup will certainly challenge his streak, but there are many indications that he can get the better of them.
On the other side, we have AL Cy Young award favorite Justin Verlander. Verlander has been astounding in his first season back from Tommy John surgery. He enters this start with a 15-3 record and 1.85 ERA. Not to mention he’s doing all of this at 39. So in what appears to be a pitchers’ duel for the ages, how are we playing this? Let’s dive in to find out.
