Athletics vs. Chicago White Sox Prediction

I’m on the White Sox in this game. Jump has been outstanding on the road this season, but the Athletics just are in a slump right now and it’s hard for me to get behind the A’s in their current form. The White Sox’s pitching situation will continue to be an interesting one to monitor, but I have more faith that Chicago can keep it going than the Athletics will to get back on track. Give me the White Sox.
