White Sox vs Rays Prediction
I’m going to lean towards the White Sox here. I just think that the White Sox are the team in far better form right now, and it’s hard to ignore what the White Sox are doing right now at the dish. Tampa Bay was playing the better baseball in recent games, but the Rays didn’t look great in that series against the Guardians, and I think the White Sox get the win here. Give me Chicago in this one.
