We've been fading the Chicago White Sox all season, and that's not going to stop now. The White Sox are in the convo as the worst baseball team of all time, and a $100 bettor is down more than $4,800 backing them all season. It's fade the White Sox regardless of matchup. Even more so in this game when Tarik Skubal is on the other side, the guy who is going to win the AL CY Young. Give me the Tigers and the RL for max betting value.
