The tout took the White Sox money-line despite the rare road-favorite status. Starter Smith sports a 3.60 ERA and has allowed only six homers in eight away starts. Colorado counters with Dollander, whose Coors ERA balloons to 9.62 with nine homers surrendered in seven home outings. Chicago’s lineup is expected to exploit those gopher-ball tendencies while Smith provides solid innings and keeps the ball in the yard—giving the Sox a clear pitching edge.

Lonte Smith is laying the small –115 with Colorado because German Marquez has rediscovered his 2021 form while the White Sox counter with a rusty Jimmy Canning coming off a back-strain layoff. Marquez has allowed two runs or fewer in four straight, posting a 1.33 ERA against offenses such as Milwaukee, the Dodgers, and Atlanta, and he has yielded one run or less in three of his last four outings at Coors Field. Smith expects Colorado’s lineup to capitalize on Canning’s lingering control issues—he walked three in just 3.2 innings in his first start back—and likes that Chicago’s bullpen has the fourth-worst ERA in the league since June 1. Even with an 11.5 total on the board, he leans Under but the stronger play is Rockies money-line at anything –120 or better.
