Reds vs White Sox Prediction
The White Sox have won two straight games and have cashed some nice underdog tickets, but it still doesn’t move me. The White Sox have yet to win three straight games this season, and a $100 bettor is still more than $2,000 in the hole if betting them all year. Even the worst teams in baseball win 60 games a year. Stay the course. Betting on the White Sox does not make you money. Lodolo has some ugly performances, and his 6.75 ERA and .299 allowed batting average in 16 home innings aren’t great. Still, backing the White Sox isn’t a profitable strategy. Give me the Reds and the RL for max betting value.
