Chris Sale continues his dominance as the White Sox ace. Unfortunately, he did not get much run support and lost to Tampa on Sunday. Sale pitched 6.2 innings; allowing two earned runs on only three hits. The downfall to Sale's day was walking three batters; one of which led to the game winning run. In the seventh inning, Sale walked the first batter and let up a two-run homer to Asdrubal Cabrera. That was all Tampa needed as they won 2-1.
Fantasy Impact:
Chris Sale is a beast for the White Sox and fantasy owners. He is a high volume strikeout pitcher who does not let up many runs. His only downside is a poor White Sox offense who cannot seem to provide consistent run support. With the White Sox failing to provide runs, Sale only has a record of 6-3 on the season. All that aside, Sale is still a good option in any fantasy format.
