Philadelphia Phillies vs. Chicago White Sox Prediction
I’m on the over here. I think the Phillies get to Jonathan Cannon for a few runs here, but I’m starting to think there’s some legitimacy to the White Sox’s current run against left-handed pitching. Luzardo has had some significant ups and downs this season, and I think the White Sox can get to him for a few runs, but in the end, I also think that the Phillies chip in to get us up and over this number. Give me the over in this one.
