Dave's Thursday Free Play:
1* on Chicago White Sox -150
The Key: The Chicago White Sox have scored at least 5 runs in 11 of their last 13 games overall. They should provide Johnny Cueto with enough run support to get a win over the Baltimore Orioles Thursday. Cueto sports a 2.63 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 6 starts this year for the White Sox and has proven to be a great addition to the staff. The White Sox are 34-11 in their last 45 home games off a loss. The Orioles are 27-72 in their last 99 road games. The White Sox are 8-0 in their last 8 matchups with the Orioles. Take Chicago.

The White Sox should be fine now that Luis Giolito isn't pitching. Johnny Cueto gets the start here. Cueto is past his prime, but he's enjoying a rejuvenation with the White Sox with a 2.95 ERA and five of six quality starts. Cueto held the Astros to two hits in seven innings during his last start, a 7-0 victory this past Saturday.
The Orioles had to sit through several rain delays during their rain-shortened victory against the Nationals Wednesday night. That was in Baltimore. Now the Orioles go on the road for the first time in a week. The road hasn't been kind to the Orioles. Baltimore has lost 73 percent of its last 99 away games.
Oh, yeah, the Orioles also are 0-8 the past eight times facing the White Sox.
Converted reliever Dean Kremer is slated to start for Baltimore. He has a 2.35 ERA. That consists of only 15 1/3 innings, however. Kremer doesn't figure to pitch deep into this game, putting the Orioles' vulnerable bullpen into play. The White Sox are batting .319 during their last 10 games, while averaging seven runs during their past 13 games.
