Rays vs White Sox Prediction
The White Sox are 6-4 in their last 10 meetings against the Rays, and are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings in Chicago. Over is 3-1 in their last 4 meetings.
The White Sox were one of the hottest teams in baseball prior to yesterday’s loss, and without a starting pitcher announced, I don’t know what to expect from them. The Rays are going for a bullpen game, and were terrible before yesterday’s win, having scored just 4 total runs in their three games before that. Too many uncertainties in this game, and I will personally stay off this one, but as a slight lean, I would side with the White Sox and possibly the plus money at home.
