Michael Lorenzen (TEX) Over 17.5 Outs (+100)
Line available at ESPNBET Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Michael Lorenzen made headlines last season as a top trade candidate for many contenders and eventually tossed a no-hitter for the Philadelphia Phillies. He now finds himself in Texas, where the Rangers desperately need a solid and long outing from a starter after an abysmal series against the Baltimore Orioles, where all three starters failed to pitch into the 6th inning. Let’s fast-forward to tonight as Lorenzen gets a marquee matchup against the woeful Chicago White Sox.
Lorenzen has failed to pitch into the 6th inning in his last four outings while also failing to top than 92 pitches in those outings. He struggled with command, registering four walks in three straight outings. Nonetheless, this is an ideal bounce-back spot after nearly two weeks off and a meeting with the White Sox, who rank in the bottom five in BB% against RHP this season.
The White Sox are coming off being carved up by three RHP from the Kansas City Royals. Seth Lugo tossed a complete game yesterday, while Brady Singer and Michael Wacha each went seven innings in the series’ first two games. Look for Lorenzen to be ready to dominate against a White Sox squad with the worst on-base percentage against RHP over the last month.
