Both teams were tied 3-3 wins in their 6 meetings last season, and the White Sox won the only series in Chicago by 2-1 wins. Under is 7-1 in their last 8 overall meetings.
In this Athletics vs Chicago White Sox Prediction, the Athletics are coming as -160 road favorites. The A’s have a better record this season, but I simply cannot back them as such big road favorites at this point, especially with a struggling pitcher on the mound. With both starting pitchers having a combined ERA of 10+, and with the A’s having the 5th-worst bullpen ERA in the league, I expect both offenses to wake up. Give me the over 8 runs in this one.
