Chicago White Sox vs Washington Nationals Prediction
I’m not running to the window to get involved in a game with both teams having their bags packed already. The White Sox have also won just two games since September 12. With that said, the White Sox have the edge with Smith on the mound, a rookie who has a 3.98 ERA and 1.24 WHIP. Smith has allowed 25 hits and 13 runs in his last 33.1 innings. Lord has been far more inconsistent, and he has a 5.01 ERA and .280 allowed batting average in 64.2 home innings. Give me the White Sox.
