Atlanta Braves vs Chicago White Sox Prediction
The Braves are going to be favored because they’re the Braves, and Perez has been sharp with a 3.02 ERA and 1.06 WHIP. However, the White Sox have gotten the better of them in this series and have quietly been a money maker this season. It doesn’t feel like oddsmakers believe in the White Sox, but here they are three games above a .500 record. Kay was just rocked by the Phillies, but he had a month of May in which he allowed 28 hits and 7 earned runs over 32.1 innings. The value is with the White Sox and the more favorable price. I’ll take it.
