Chicago White Sox vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction

Another White Sox game, another chance to snag value. I keep saying it, the White Sox are a good team that gets no respect from oddsmakers. Well, only the Nationals have earned more money than the White Sox this season. Yes, the Guardians are at home with the better pitcher in Williams. Kay has been hittable with a 4.50 ERA and 1.43 WHIP, but we’re getting the more favorable price with the better team. I’ll keep taking advantage of the White Sox and these prices as long as the tickets keep cashing.
