White Sox vs Marlins Prediction

The White Sox won their only series against the Marlins last season by 2-1 wins in Chicago and the under is 6-3-1 in their last 10 meetings.  

In this White Sox vs Marlins Prediction, the Marlins are coming as -135 home favorites. Both teams started the season on completely opposite trajectories, as the Marlins are coming off a sweep against the Rockies, while the White Sox got swept by the Brewers and looked absolutely awful, as they got outscored by 29-10 runs. Miami’s bullpen has been unhittable to start the season and they can keep this game alive if Paddack gets lit up. Chicago has the worst bullpen ERA to start the season so keep this one simple and take the Marlins to win this one.
