White Sox vs Marlins Prediction

Both teams are tied 5-5 in their last 10 meetings, but the White Sox are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings.

In this White Sox vs Marlins Prediction, the Marlins are coming as -150 home favorites. The White Sox got their first win of the season with a dominant 9-4 win against the Marlins yesterday, but I don’t trust them to do so again today with Erick Fedde on the mound. Fedde was torched in his only start against the Marlins last season with 4 earned runs in 5 innings pitched, but Junk struggled at home last season for the Marlins, with a 5.22 ERA in 8 home starts. The opening game of this series had 13 total runs and both teams average 12.2 earned runs per game this season combined. Take the over 8.5 runs in this one.
