Baltimore Orioles vs. Chicago White Sox Prediction
I’m on the Orioles here. I don’t trust this White Sox lineup against left-handed pitching, and I think this is a tricky spot against a solid option in Rogers who found himself in a nice rebound season last year and is one of the more underappreciated lefties in all of baseball. I think the Orioles take care of business on the road here so give me Baltimore.
