Chicago White Sox vs San Diego Padres Prediction

The San Diego Padres are a team I've been on a lot in the second half, and there's no reason to stop as they inch closer to a playoff spot. Also, as I've said endless times this season, the Chicago White Sox are one of the worst teams in the history of baseball. A $100 bettor is down more than $5,800 betting on the White Sox this season. You should not be betting on the White Sox. It's that simple. Give me the Padres and the RL for max betting value.
