The current betting odds have the White Sox listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The White Sox have looked good in their games this season with their 33-29 record overall which has them right near the top of the AL Central. They haven't been a great road team though with their 13-18 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Phillies have looked good in their games this season with their 33-29 record overall which has them right near the top of the NL East. They haven't looked great in their own ballpark though with their 17-16 home record this season. Both of these teams are 7-3 in their last 10 games respectively and both have been rolling lately, but this is a pitching matchup that the White Sox can take advantage of. The Phillies are going with a rookie who has been shaky all season and their offense hasn't looked great this year either while the White Sox have one of the best in MLB at the moment, putting up a ton of runs. Painter is on the mound for the Phillies and he hasn't looked great in his rookie season so far. He is 1-6 with a 5.74 ERA and the team hasn't had a lot of success with him either. They have lost 2 games in a row now with him starting, along with a lot of losses this year, and he gave up 4 earned runs in his last start which has been a common theme for him. The White Sox are going with Burke in this one and he hasn't looked bad this season. He is 2-3 with a 3.72 ERA and he hasn't been giving up many runs lately. The team has had some trouble with him though, losing 4 of their last 5 games with him starting, but he only gave up 1 earned run in his last start and they are due to play better with him on the mound. The White Sox have a really young and exciting team this season that can take advantage of this rookie starter for the Phillies with their high-powered offense this year. The best way to place a bet here is on the White Sox to win this game.

“He did a good job setting the tone for the group. A guy up there who’s been doing it really since he's got up here. And the guys followed his lead behind him. We had quality at-bats up and down the lineup, contributions from everywhere.” - Will Venable on Sam Antonacci after his team’s win against the Twins in their game on Wednesday. 

“I think he’s gaining confidence. You start to see him swinging the bat. Obviously, the home run. The lineout to center, he crushed. Starting to see more rhythm, better at-bats. So it’s good to see that.” - Don Mattingly on Adolis Garcia after his team’s win against the Padres in their game on Thursday.
