White Sox at Giants picks and predictions
Prediction
White Sox 4, Giants 3
Money line
Chicago’s record is a tad suspect because of a 13-8 mark in 1-run games. But the Pale Hose have been better in the bullpen of late.
Giolito has pitched through a very tough schedule. With his solid effort last time out, peg the White Sox as being worthy of a level wager here. BACK CHICAGO (-105).

Run line/Against the spread
PASS: Avoid the added juice.
Over/Under
Both clubs have underlying analytics that indicate a bit of bad luck in the run-prevention department. Giolito has been hammered by fly balls leaving on an 18.5% clip and by a batting average on all balls in play of .360.
Despite the forecast for a double-digit breeze aiding the batters, there is some leverage on the UNDER 8.5 (-120).
