White Sox vs Diamondbacks Prediction
We continue to fade the White Sox, and it continues to work, as this is just an awful team across the board. While Burke has been solid this season overall, he’s allowed 19 hits and 10 earned runs in his last 16 innings. Gallen has been a mess in his own right with a 5.60 ERA and 1.40 WHIP, and he’s allowed 26 hits and 16 earned runs in his last 25 innings. However, we know what Gallen is capable of when he’s right. Gallen is an all-star caliber pitcher who was top-10 in CY Young voting in 2020. Gallen won’t struggle forever. Give me the Diamondbacks and the reasonable price.
