Cardinals vs. White Sox, 8:00 p.m. ET, ESPN

Moneyline pick: White Sox -190

Chicago is riding a three-game losing streak and hasn’t had a ton of success against St. Louis lately, but there’s a good chance it’ll get the job done on Monday. The White Sox are 2-7 straight up against the Cardinals over their last nine matchups against them, but Lance Lynn is 4-1 this season, and Chicago is 4-3 when favored on the moneyline on days he starts. The White Sox have superior pitching and batting, as their fourth-ranked batting average (.254) is much better than the Cardinals’ (.233). Chicago is an impressive 14-8 at home while St. Louis is 11-10 on the road. I’m rolling with the hosts.

Player Prop: Tim Anderson O1.5 hits (+165)

Anderson will get plenty of chances to get a pair of base hits as Chicago’s leadoff batter and has thrived on his home turf. The shortstop is batting .333 at Guaranteed Rate field and has notched seven multi-hit games in 16 appearances there this year. Given that he’s recorded more than one hit in nearly half of his home games, this seems like an enticing plus-money prop.
