Rockies at White Sox picks and predictions
Prediction
White Sox 4, Rockies 3
Moneyline
PASS.
There’s just not a ton to love here. The White Sox (-190) are too expensive on the moneyline, costing almost double your potential return. The Rockies, who have lost the first 2 games and have the pitching disadvantage, should be avoided on the moneyline as well.
Run line/Against the spread
BET WHITE SOX -1.5 (+114).
The White Sox are 12-11 ATS following a win this season and have a top starting option on the mound Sunday. They have won 3 straight and covered in each, while the Rockies are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games.
Colorado has been the 5th-worst covering team on the road at just 19-23 ATS, and it is the 4th-worst team at covering as an underdog at 38-44 ATS.
While the White Sox haven’t been much better on the season, they are the hotter side and have the better starting pitcher. With that in mind, back WHITE SOX -1.5 (+114).
Over/Under
BET UNDER 7.5 (-112).
Over their last 6 games, the White Sox have gone Under 5 times, been held scoreless twice, and put up 1 run or fewer on 3 separate occasions. Chicago is 37-44-4 O/U on the season.
The Rockies are 1-3-1 O/U and have scored 3 runs or fewer in their last 5 games. Their offense has been non-existent as of late. The Rockies have gone Under in Freeland’s last 2 starts. Back UNDER 7.5 (-112).
