White Sox vs Astros Prediction
The White Sox are 3-1 in their 4 meetings against the Astros this season, and are 3-1 to the over. The Astros were 4-1 in their 5 meetings before that, and under was 6-1 prior to those three meetings.
In this White Sox vs Astros Prediction, the Astros are coming as -180 home favorites. The Astros are rightfully favored, as they have a better overall record and have been very strong at home, while the White Sox are one of the weakest road teams in the whole league. Both pitchers have been struggling this season, with a combined 8.81 ERA, and prior to yesterday’s low-scoring game, their other three meetings this season had 9, 10, and 11 total runs. I expect the offenses to bounce back against those two pitchers, so take the over 8.5 in this one.
