Orioles vs White Sox Prediction

Baltimore is 9-1 in their last 10 meetings against Chicago and won both series last year, winning by a combined 15-9 score in their three visits in Chicago.

In this Orioles vs White Sox Prediction, the Orioles are coming as -140 road favorites. Both teams are in opposite trajectories lately, as Chicago swept the Toronto at home and shut them out yesterday, while on the flip side, Baltimore got swept in Pittsburgh. Given the way the White Sox are playing, I like them as home dogs, as I expect them to carry the momentum they have as they play the second straight series at home. Take the White Sox on the moneyline for plus money.
