Blue Jays vs White Sox Prediction
The Jays should have the edge at home with Miles on the bump, as he’s been strong through 60 innings with a 2.85 ERA and 1.10 WHIP. Kay has been hit or miss with a 4.23 ERA and 1.38 WHIP, and he’s walked 35 in 89.1 innings. I get it. However, those who have been with me all year know I’ve been on this White Sox bandwagon early, and they come out of the break as the most profitable team in baseball. No MLB team has earned bettors more money than the White Sox. It’s actually not even close. I’ll keep grabbing the plus money with the White Sox.
