Chicago White Sox vs Miami Marlins Prediction
I’ll lean toward the White Sox, but I could go either way. Crochet hasn’t been bad over his last three starts despite going 0-1, logging five earned in 18.2 innings total. As for Chirinos, he’s got six earned runs over his last 14.1 innings.
On Friday the White Sox nearly blew a 3-0 lead but held on for the victory. It was a pretty good offensive effort overall; everybody got on base at least once. I’m expecting Saturday’s matchup to be another close one. Seems like a coin flip.
