Chicago White Sox vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction
As I’ve said all year, the White Sox are a team we’ve faded endlessly these last three years, and it’s not going to stop now. The White Sox have won two straight games just twice this season. In 28.2 road innings, Cannon has a 5.65 ERA and a .267 allowed batting average. No, thanks. The Reds need to take advantage of games like this if they’re going to right the ship. Abbott has allowed seven hits and zero runs in his last nine innings. Abbott has allowed one or fewer runs in four of his first five starts. In nine home innings, Abbott has a 1.00 ERA and .161 allowed batting average. There’s no excuse for the Reds in a series like this. Of course, give me the RL to shave down the juice.
