Athletics vs Chicago White Sox Prediction
The Athletics continue to pile up the losses this week, and their offense has scored 2 or fewer runs in 5 straight games. The Athletics have won just 1 game since June 27. As I’ve said numerous times in past write-ups, I’ve backed the White Sox a lot this season because they continue to win and get these low prices from oddsmakers who don’t believe in them. The White Sox are currently the most profitable team in baseball for MLB bettors. I’m still pushing this White Sox train, folks. Give me the home team for the sweep.
