Oakland Athletics vs Chicago White Sox Prediction

Another day, another chance to fade the Chicago White Sox. As Ive said endless times this season, the Chicago White Sox are one of the worst teams in baseball history and a $100 bettor is now more than $6,000 in the hole backing them all year. I don't care what the matchup is or who is pitching, I'll keep fading the Chicago White Sox and laugh my way to the bank. In this case, give me the Oakland Athletics. There's not much more to say when it comes to the tram on the South Side.
