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 a lot of spots, but the problem is that the White Sox are still the White Sox. Sandy Alcantara has still struggled for much of the season, but he’s struggled against a lot better than what he’s up against here and if there is a prime spot for Alcantara to find himself and get his form back. I think it’s here. It won’t be a pretty game, but it’ll be effective as I think the Marlins pick up the series win on the road here. Give me Miami in this one.
