Marlins vs White Sox Prediction 

Chicago comes into this matchup after a rough series in Milwaukee, but they did find some offense on Sunday afternoon. The White Sox are starting Davis Martin, who was decent last year on a bad pitching staff. Miami picked up three very close wins against Colorado in their first series, but they need to find some more offense. The Marlins are starting Paddack, who was awful in 2025, but I expect a bounce back season from him. I don’t love either starter, but this Chicago pitching staff needs to lower that ERA before I jump on board. Take the Marlins here.
