White Sox vs Giants Prediction
San Francisco comes into this matchup after dropping four of their last five games to Miami and Chicago, so they are really struggling right now. The Giants are 20-21 on the road this year, while the White Sox are 18-24 at home. Chicago has won two of their last three games and they are starting Cannon, who has allowed five earned runs in two straight starts, but hasn’t pitched since June 2nd. San Francisco will answer with Verlander, who has allowed three earned runs in three of his last five starts. I don’t love either starter in this game, but I do give the edge to San Francisco, especially with Cannon missing about a month. Take the Giants -1.5 here.
