In the final month of the regular season, the Chicago White Sox are finally picking up the pace as their offense has come alive in the chase for the final wild-card spot. They now open a must-win series against the Oakland Athletics. Here are our top White Sox-Athletics picks.
Coming off a 9-6 win over the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday, the White Sox hope to keep the ball rolling in the opening game of their four-game series with the Athletics. Chicago went 6-2 over its last eight games and has performed well against teams with a losing record. The White Sox are 46-16 in their last 62 games against teams with a winning percentage below .400.
The White Sox will have ace Dylan Cease on the mound against an Oakland offense that hasn't been able to generate much production this year. The Athletics are 29th in MLB with 3.42 runs per game. In 2022, batters are averaging .185 against Cease this season, which doesn't bode well for the A's who have a team batting average of .216.
Here are my MLB picks and predictions for Thursday night's game between the White Sox and Athletics (odds via FanDuel Sportsbook, BetMGM, and DraftKings Sportsbook; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5 scale).
