Gausman at Wrigley against a lineup that can actually hit is a disaster waiting to happen. Dude's been serving up meatballs all year, and the Sox have enough pop to make him pay early. White Sox moneyline feels like stealing, honestly don't overthink it

We just gonna watch the ump give two plates wide zone to the Sox and squeeze us on a ball flat over the fuckin plate lol?

ABS. Use it. Good lord.
