Orioles vs White Sox Prediction
I keep saying it, but oddsmakers don’t respect the White Sox despite them winning games and being the second most profitable team in baseball. Only the Nationals have earned more money this season than the White Sox. The Orioles have underachieved all year, and Baz has been hittable with a 4.31 ERA and 1.38 WHIP. At home through 32.2 innings, Baz has a 4.41 ERA and a .303 allowed batting average. I’ll continue to back the White Sox at favorable prices until oddmakers catch on. Give me the White Sox.
