Athletics vs. Chicago White Sox Prediction
I’m on the under in this one. I get the case to be made for either side in this game, as JT Ginn is probably the best option the A’s have for a starter right now, but their offense has been abysmal and a big reason why the A’s skid has hit where it’s hit. I don’t love Noah Schultz as a starting option but this feels like a good spot for him to have a good start and this just feels like a low-scoring battle in the end. Give me the under.
