Chicago White Sox vs Athletics Prediction
The Chicago White Sox have won two games in a row just once this season and Burke isn’t somebody I’m excited to back. Through 21.2 innings, Burke has allowed 24 hits and 15 earned runs. The Athletics already tagged Burke for six hits and five runs in 3.1 innings this season. The Athletics are coming off a nice series win over the Rangers, and Severino has allowed seven hits and two runs in his last 13.2 innings. Severino hasn’t pitched well in Sacramento this year, but he’s a veteran who should figure it out sooner than later. The price is insane given these are two below-average teams. Still, give me the Athletics, and I’ll lay the RL to shave down the price.
