Who will win White Sox vs Giants today: White Sox moneyline (-108)

The Chicago White Sox send their ace to the mound tonight in Davis Martin. He's dominated this year, compiling a 1.61 ERA and 6-1 record through nine starts. 

Martin has also been solid on the road, sporting a 1.95 ERA. He's up against a San Francisco Giants team that is 30th in runs scored and has lost three straight. 

Chicago has also won three of the last four meetings against the Giants. The hosts hand Trevor McDonald the ball, and he's allowed six earned runs at home across his last two outings. 

Covers COVERS INTEL: The Giants are 20th in wRC+ in May, sitting at 92.

White Sox vs Giants Over/Under pick: Under 7.5 (-125)

While McDonald hasn't been at his best at Oracle Park lately, he does have a very respectable 2.37 ERA overall through three starts.

The right-hander has shown the ability to get outs on a consistent basis, and the White Sox aren't exactly thriving at the dish lately, scoring just six runs across their previous series with the Mariners. 

Martin, meanwhile, can't do much wrong, giving up two earned runs or fewer ever since his season debut on March 30.

He is lights-out, and the Giants have struggled immensely all year to muster up any offense. Also, four of the last five meetings have hit the Under.
