Miami Marlins vs. Chicago White Sox Prediction
I’m on the Marlins here. I get the case to be made for a home underdog in some spots, but the thing is that the White Sox continue to be one of the worst lineups in baseball this season. The Marlins have been disappointing as of late, but have still been able to spring some wins as of late and the Marlins have a clear edge in starting pitching here with Max Meyer over Bryse Wilson. Give me the Marlins to draw first blood in this series on Friday.
