Chicago White Sox vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction

The Chicago White Sox didn’t list a starting pitcher at the time this article was published, but who cares. As I’ve said countless times this season, backing the White Sox is a waste of time. The White Sox are one of the worst teams in MLB history, and a $100 bettor is down more than $5,000 on the season. I’ll continue to fade the White Sox. I don’t care about the matchup overall or the pitching matchup. Give me the Guardians and the RL for max betting value.
