Athletics vs. Chicago White Sox Prediction
I’m on the Athletics in this one. I’m all about making a case for an underdog in certain spots, but the Athletics for me are just the better team playing some solid baseball out of the gate, and while I’m not the biggest Osvaldo Bido fan, he’s the better option here. The Athletics offense can be boom or bust, but as we saw on Tuesday, when the bats are clicking, the Athletics have a lot of upside. I think the Athletics grab another one here so give me the Athletics on the road here.
