Chicago White Sox vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
You can make a case for the White Sox, as Kelly has just 5.1 innings under his belt and I usually like my pitchers with a larger sample size. However, you then remember that the White Sox suck and aren’t a team you should make a habit of backing. The Diamondbacks are coming off a strong week and are comfortably the better offensive side. The White Sox don’t do anything well. At home, I have to side with the Diamondbacks.
