White Sox vs Phillies Prediction
I’m on the Phillies -1.5 here. I get the case to be made for the White Sox catching plus money at home in some spots, but not here, unfortunately. Cristopher Sanchez has been a machine in a lot of recent starts, going 7+ innings of 2 run or less ball more often than not. I think that the Phillies can get the job done here and get to Davis Martin for enough to cover the run line here, so give me Philadelphia.
