Texas Rangers vs Chicago White Sox Prediction
Game 1 Prediction: Garrett Crochet is the one guy who gives the White Sox a fighting chance, as he's missing bats at an elite percentage and has been a great pitcher overall with a 1.03 WHIP. The problem is it's the White Sox and I want nothing to do with this team regardless of pitcher or matchup. Andrew Heaney has a 3.60 ERA in his last 20 innings and has the better team behind him. Remember, a $100 bettor is more than $5,000 in the hole backing the White Sox. Don't back the White Sox.
Game 2 Prediction: Do I have to repeat myself? Jack Leiter has allowed 17 earned runs in 9.1 career MLB innings. It doesn't matter. The White Sox are on the other side. Don't back the White Sox. Give me Leiter and the Rangers.
