Money Line: -125.00 Chi White Sox (Home)
Result: Push
I find Jose Quintana one of the more underrated pitchers in baseball. The lefty went 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA in five September starts and he continued hot in his first start this season giving up two runs with seven strikeouts and no walks in 5 2/3 innings in a 5-4 road win against Oakland this past Tuesday.

Now Quintana is home against Cleveland, a team he is 5-1 against lifetime with a 2.58 ERA. Quintana dominated the Indians last season going 2-1 with a 0.82 ERA in three games. Michael Brantley is the one Cleveland player who's had success against Quintana, but he's out with a shoulder injury.

Indians starter Josh Tomlin looked good after returning from shoulder surgery in mid-August going 7-2 with a 3.02 ERA in 10 starts last season. Tomlin, though, last pitched on March 29 in spring training. So it has been 11 days between starts for him. That's too much.
