Diamondbacks vs White Sox Prediction

I’m on the Diamondbacks in this one. I get the case to be made for the White Sox with how hot the bats have been for Chicago but I just can’t trust the White Sox bullpen in their current form. Both of these starters have been solid to this point, but I think the White Sox get the job done in the end here. Give me the Diamondbacks in this one.
