Houston Astros vs Chicago White Sox Prediction
Give the White Sox credit as they’ve won two straight Ames and their offense has come to life. Add that to Martin pitching well, posting a 3.24 ERA and 1.32 WHIP on the season, and you can make a case for a third straight win. Still, as I’ve said time and time again over the last three years, I have no use for the White Sox and their constant losing. Two wins don’t move the needle much when you consider the White Sox have 245 losses since the 2023 season. The Astros are comfortably the better side, and Brown has allowed 20 hits and three runs in his last 31 innings. Brown had an ERA of 0.87 in the month of April. Absolutely, dealing, folks. Give me the Astros and the RL for max betting value.
