Chicago White Sox vs Oakland Athletics Prediction
I’m not excited to lay big juice with the Oakland Athletics as much as the next guy, and Ross Stripling hasn’t pitched well this season. With that said, the White Sox still haven’t won a game since July 10, and you’re pretty much Bill Gates if you’ve faded them in every game during this losing streak and just rolled your money over. A $100 bettor is down more than $4,700 this season if they’ve bet the White Sox all season. The White Sox will win a game eventually, but I’m not betting on them to do it. I’ll keep fading the White Sox, even against teams that are in a similar tier.
