Tampa Bay Rays vs Chicago White Sox Prediction
The Rays are coming off a bad series, and Houser has allowed 37 hits and 18 runs in his last 33 innings. Houser hasn’t been the same pitcher since coming from the White Sox, and he’s now going up against a team that saw him up close for much of this season. The White Sox are a team I’ve faded a lot over the years, but they’ve cashed tickets over the last couple of weeks and Gomez has been solid lately, allowing 19 hits and 9 earned runs in his last 23.2 innings. In 24 home innings, Gomez has a 3.75 ERA and .176 allowed batting average. I’ll continue to cautiously take a shot with the White Sox.
