Chicago White Sox vs Boston Red Sox Prediction
Another White Sox game. Folks, you know what to do. The White Sox lost a combined 222 games in the last two seasons and they’ve lost 15 of their first 19 games this season. There’s nothing left to talk about. The White Sox are on a historically bad run and they have no betting value. I’ve been fading the White Sox over the last two years and that hasn’t stopped yet. Of course, the price is ridiculous, but give me the Red Sox and I’ll lay the RL to shave down the price as much as possible.
