Chicago White Sox vs Colorado Rockies Prediction
Chicago comes into this game looking for a very rare series sweep and they will look to build on the offensive success they have had in the first two games. The White Sox are just 16-28 at home this year, while the Rockies are 11-31 on the road. Colorado’s pitching staff has been the worst in the MLB this season and even though Freeland pitched a gem in his last outing, he is still one of the bottom starting pitchers in baseball. On the other side, Crochet has been very good for the White Sox and I think he will dominate this Rockies lineup. My Chicago White Sox vs Colorado Rockies prediction is for the White Sox to win by at least two runs.
