White Sox vs Red Sox Prediction
The Red Sox are playing better ball over the last week or so, but those who have followed along all year know I’ve been pushing the White Sox train all season, and we continue to cash. In fact, the White Sox currently are the most profitable team in baseball. Bennett is a rookie with just 40.2 innings under his belt, while Martin could make the All-Star team for the first time with a 3.08 ERA and 1.26 WHIP. At home through 41 innings, Martin has a 0.88 ERA and a .205 allowed batting average. I’m going to keep backing the White Sox, a team that still gets no respect from oddsmakers.
