White Sox vs Marlins Prediction

Both teams are tied 4-4 in their last 8 meetings, but the Marlins are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings in Miami.

In this White Sox vs Marlins Prediction, the Marlins are coming as -150 home favorites. The Marlins bounced back after suffering their first loss of the season on Monday with a 9-2 win yesterday and they have a huge pitching advantage today as Sandy Alcantara goes toe-to-toe with Shane Smith. Alcantara started the season on the right foot, with a shutout against the Rockies and is facing a White Sox lineup that has not been hitting the ball well so far. On top of that, Miami’s bullpen looks amazing so far, so I like them to win this one as well in a decent price. Take the Marlins on the moneyline.
