Baltimore Orioles vs Chicago White Sox Prediction
I might take a stab on the White Sox due to the thick line. Likely not touching it in reality, though. Flexen is 0-2 over his last three starts, but he hasn’t been too bad lately. In his latest pair Flexen has five earned on 14 hits and four walks in 12.1 innings total. He’ll need some major help from both the bats and the pen in order for the Sox to get a W, though.
On Sunday Chicago had another miserable outing, but this time it was mostly due to the (lack of) offense. The White Sox mustered just two hits and two walks. They’ve scored one run or fewer in three of the last four games now (three in the other). I’m probably staying away from this one.
