White Sox vs Guardians Prediction
The Guardians have had success on the road, and Williams has been sharp this season with a 3.83 ERA and 1.13 WHIP. However, we’re getting a lower price with the White Sox at home, and they continue to get disrespected by oddsmakers despite their success both on the field and in the betting market. The White Sox have also been fabulous at home. Kay has a 3.08 ERA in 38 innings at home. I’m going to keep backing the White Sox as long as the prices are this soft.
