Orioles vs White Sox Prediction

The White Sox are coming into this game as a big favorite with the current betting odds. They have not been playing well recently as they have lost 2 games in this series to the Orioles already. They cannot be losing these games to a bad team like the Orioles who have been awful on the road this season so the White Sox will be hungry to bounce back here at home and get a win. They have a good chance of doing that with Cease on the mound here. He had a rough start to the season but has been pitching much better in his recent starts and he is coming off of another great start in his last game. The Orioles have Lyles pitching here and he has not been good all season as he has been allowing a lot of runs in his starts. The White Sox came into this series hitting the ball very well as they were scoring a lot and they should be able to do that on Lyles here at home. The best bet here is on the White Sox to win this game on the runline.
