Chicago White Sox vs. Philadelphia Phillies Prediction
I’m on the White Sox here. I envision Eisert being an opener for Sean Burke, and Burke has been one of Chicago’s better options this season but more importantly I think the White Sox will be able to get to Andrew Painter early and often in this one. Painter’s expected numbers are decent, but he’s still been giving up plenty of damage so I think Chicago bounces back here and takes care of business.
