Guardians vs White Sox Prediction
The Guardians are going to get the nod because they’re at home and Bibee has been solid through 102.1 innings with a 3.69 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. However, I keep backing the WHite Sox, and it’s worked up to this point. Only the Nationals have earned more money for MLB bettors than the WHite Sox this season. I keep saying that the White Sox are a good team that gets no respect from oddsmakers. We’re getting plus money. I’m still leading this White Sox train.
