In this Rays vs White Sox Prediction, the Rays are coming as -140 road favorites. The Rays are going for a bullpen game and the White Sox have been playing spoiler a lot lately. Smith has been good for the White Sox, especially at home, where he has a 3.26 ERA, and he has been in great form at home, where he has only two earned runs in his last three home starts. Chicago is better against left-handed pitching, so I like them as home dogs in this situation. Take the Chicago White Sox and the plus money at home once again.
