Athletics vs White Sox Prediction
Springs and his struggles aren’t worth a price this steep, as he’s allowed 20 hits and 14 earned runs in his last 16.1 innings. This line has more to do with the White Sox and how awful they are. The White Sox have won just four games this month, and they can’t string together an offense. Cannon has also had his struggles of his own, allowing 19 hits and 13 runs in his last 19.1 innings. Backing the White Sox just isn’t an option. I’ll roll with the Athletics for a fourth straight win, and of course, I’ll lay the RL to shave down the price.
