Houston Astros vs. Chicago White Sox Prediction

I’m on the White Sox in this one. Hunter Brown just hasn’t looked like the Hunter Brown we are used to seeing year after year for Houston, and I think the White Sox can exploit that here. Sean Burke has been outstanding in a lot of his recent outings and I think if it wasn’t for one bad inning on Friday, we’d be talking about a different result. I’ll back Chicago here.
