Orioles vs White Sox Prediction
Baltimore was able to get a much needed win in this series on Friday afternoon and they need to take advantage of this series against the White Sox, as they try to find some momentum to get their season going. The Orioles are 10-17 at home this year, while the White Sox are 6-24 on the road. Chicago has played slightly better over the last two weeks, but they are still a very bad road team. The White Sox are going with Martin, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three straight starts. The Orioles are starting Kremer, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last five starts. I really don’t trust either team in this matchup, especially offensively, so I like the under in this game.
