White Sox vs Giants Prediction
I’m going to continue fading the White Sox, as they just can’t get out of their own way. Houser has been solid this season with a 2.27 ERA and 1.26 WHIP, but it doesn’t matter when the White Sox have scored one or fewer runs in four of their last six games. Ray looks like an all-star again with his 2.83 ERA and 1.16 WHIP, and he’s allowing a .187 batting average in 36.1 road innings. Solid pitching matchup, but the Giants have the clear edge in offensive production. Give me the Giants and the somewhat reasonable price.
