Brit Devine's White Sox vs Braves Preview, Picks
We won this bet yesterday, and with Michael Harris clearly doing something different than he was at the start of the year when he couldn't hit a beach ball, we are going right back to this bet tonight.
Harris now has an 11-game hit streak for the Braves, with at least two hits in nine of those games.
He has a .400+ batting average in August, and with a good lineup in front of him, he should continue to have plenty of RBI opportunities, even if he continues to hit sixth in the order.
The matchup is decent as well against right-handed Shane Smith and a White Sox' bullpen that will be without two of their best arms after pitching on back to back days, and some of their other good arms already in jeopardy after five relievers were used yesterday.
