White Sox vs Marlins Prediction
I’m not running to the window to lay juice with a bad Marlins team that’s getting crushed and has lost 10 of their last 13 games. However, we’ve been fading the White Sox over these last three seasons and have made a mountain of profit. Wilson hasn’t been good through 22.2 innings, allowing 32 hits and 14 runs while walking 11.
Meyer is a talented arm who has been rocked in his last two games, but he’s still allowed just 17 earned runs in 39 innings. Meyer’s respectable season numbers are why the Marlins are favored in this spot. Again, you’re forced to pick between two piles of garbage and try to figure out which one smells less. I’m not backing the White Sox. It’s Marlins or pass.
