Guardians vs White Sox Prediction
Allen needs to get some reps under his belt to look like the pitcher he’s capable of being, as he wasn’t great in his season debut. The Guardians have underachieved as a team through 10 games. With that said, the White Sox are the White Sox, a team that’s dreadful across the board and is looking more and more like the team from last season.
With six straight losses and losses in eight of their last nine games, the White Sox are a tough sell already through 10 games. The White Sox have already been shut out twice this season. After a slow start, the Guardians need to take advantage of games like this to get back in the swing of things. Give me the Guardians and the RL for max betting value.
