Marlins vs White Sox Prediction 

Chicago comes into this matchup after starting the season with some very poor pitching, as they have allowed 6+ runs in four of their five games. The White Sox are starting Smith, who was terrible in his first outing. Miami has allowed three runs or fewer in four of their first five games and they are starting Alcantara, who pitched well against the lowly Rockies in his first start. I think the Marlins will win, but I have to keep riding the over with this White Sox pitching staff. Take the over here.
