Astros vs White Sox Prediction

The Astros have won their last three meetings against the White Sox and two of their last three visits in Chicago.   

In this Astros vs White Sox Prediction, the White Sox are coming as -125 home favorites. I like the White Sox in a bounce back spot at home with a red-hot Sean Burke on the mound, who has given up one run or less in five of his last six starts. On the flip side, Hunter Brown has been in a big slump for the Astros, having given up 13 runs across his last three starts. The White Sox have a better bullpen and have been averaging 7 runs per game against righties in their last 10 games, so take them to win this one at home.
