Astros vs White Sox Prediction
Both teams are tied 3-3 in their last 6 meetings and are 2-2 in their last 4 meetings in Chicago.
In this Astros vs White Sox Prediction, the White Sox are coming as -130 home favorites. I like the White Sox in this one at home with Davis Martin on the bump, who has been elite when pitching in Chicago, with a 5-1 record and 1.80 ERA. On the flip side, Spencer Arrighetti has been all over the place lately, alternating one run games with 8-run games, so I certainly don’t trust them, especially on the road. The White Sox are one of the best home teams in baseball and are 7-2 in their last 9 games, while having both a better offense and a better bullpen. Take the White Sox to win this one.
