Arizona Diamondbacks vs Chicago White Sox Prediction

I’m leaning towards the White Sox here. It would be nice to know who the Diamondbacks are starting in this one, and there’s a definite possibility it could be a bullpen Game, but it looks like the White Sox have a pair of pitchers that are their best shot at getting a win from starting pitching and that’s Garrett Crochet and Erick Fedde. Fedde’s been really good for the White Sox this season and while I do prefer backing Fedde at home, I think he can be comPetitive enough to help the White Sox steal one here. Not one I’m rushing to bet necessarily, but I’ll side with the White Sox in this one.
