Braves at White Sox picks and predictions
Prediction
Braves 4, White Sox 3
Moneyline
PASS.
I like the Braves (-330) to win here, but they are not worth the risk of betting on as such heavy favorites, especially with how they have struggled vs. Chicago (+265) recently. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.
Run line/Against the spread
LEAN WHITE SOX +1.5 (+142).
Chicago has covered the spread in 4 of its 5 games this season and has covered the spread in 3 of its last 4 matchups vs. Atlanta. The Sox are also 3-1 overall in their last 4 matchups with the Braves.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 8 (-110).
The Under has hit in 2 of Chicago’s last 3 overall and is 3-1-1 for the White Sox to start the season. The Under has also hit in 2 of the last 3 Atlanta-Chicago matchups and is 4-1-1 in the last 6 meetings overall.
Be aware that the Over has hit in 3 of Atlanta’s 1st 5 Games to start the season.
