White Sox vs Orioles Prediction
I’m taking a shot on the White Sox here. Kremer has been far less effective on the road compared to his marks at home. The White Sox, despite their recent issues, have actually been a fairly solid team at home as of late. I think Chicago gets the job done in this one to get some revenge on Tuesday, so give me Chicago here.
