Prediction
White Sox 5, Orioles 4
Money line
CHICAGO (-120) is a solid play in this game, mostly due to strong indicators pointing to Lynn — a hurler who clocked s 3.26 ERA, 1.14 WHIP from 2019-21 — being significantly more effective than what shows in his surface stat line.

Run line/Against the spread
The White Sox are a lean, but the return here needs to be over +140 to make for any value. PASS.
Over/Under
Both sides have quality of contact figures that indicate a little more offense in the tank. The Over is 4-1 in the last 5 White Sox-Orioles games, and neither bullpen is in great shape for this contest.
Add in a forecast of warm weather and a wind blowing out to left field, and TAKE THE OVER 8.5 (-108).
