Miami Marlins vs Chicago White Sox Prediction
Miami was able to pick up the win in game two of this series on Saturday, but they are just 17-31 at home this season. Chicago is just 10-36 on the road, but they are above .500 in their last nine games. These two teams are towards the bottom of the MLB standings and they have very similar numbers, with each offense being pretty bad. Miami is going with Edward Cabrera, who did not pitch well before going on the IL. Chicago is starting Cannon, who has ran into some issues in his last two starts. This pitching matchup doesn’t give me much confidence in either team, but I think Cannon is the slightly better option. My Miami Marlins vs Chicago White Sox prediction is for the White Sox to win.
