We have a real treat to look forward to in tonight's Houston Astros vs. Chicago White Sox matchup as the top two AL Cy Young Award favorites will take center stage at Guaranteed Rate Field.
Houston's Justin Verlander and Chicago's Dylan Cease are 1-2 with a month and a half remaining in the MLB regular season, and while tonight's game certainly won't be decisive in the AL Cy Young race, a shift in the odds could very well occur based on which pitcher outdoes the other.
Excellent pitching was on display in last night's series opener, with Johnny Cueto (8 IP, 6 H, 2 R) and the White Sox getting a huge win over Jose Urquidy (7.2 IP, 6 H, R) and the Astros thanks to four two-out runs in the bottom of the eighth.
Will pitching dominate again tonight in the Windy City?
