Cleveland Guardians vs Chicago White Sox Prediction
As I’ve said last night and I’ve said many times this season, the White Sox keep getting disrespected by oddsmakers. It’s like nobody believes in the White Sox, but we’re deep into the season to admit this is actually a decent to good team. You can make money betting on the White Sox. Messick has been solid through 86.2 innings, but who cares? I’m backing a team that’s made me money all season and keeps getting these favorable prices. Give me the White Sox.
