White Sox vs Diamondbacks Prediction
I’ve faded the White Sox a ton over the years, and I’m not thrilled to back them even in spots like this. However, Smith has been a bright spot for the White Sox, as he has a 2.85 ERA and 1.22 WHIP. Rodriguez has fallen off like Big Mac toppings, posting a 5.93 ERA and 1.62 WHIP, and in 33.1 road innings, he has a 6.21 ERA and .319 allowed batting average. Rodriguez is allowing a .303 batting average on the season. This is a game the White Sox can win at home. I’ll gladly take the plus money here.
