        White Sox at Padres picks and predictions<\/h2>\n

        Prediction<\/h3>\n

        White Sox 5, Padres 4<\/p>\n

        BET WHITE SOX +120<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

        These teams are trending in opposite directions, as the White Sox have won 3 in a row and 7 of their last 10 while the Padres have lost 2 in a row and 4 of their last 7. Schultz is a top-tier pitching prospect and coming off an 8-strikeout performance. Marquez has been bailed out by good run support from San Diego’s offense. I think it’s worthwhile to take a gamble on Chicago in this matchup.<\/p>\n

        PASS<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

        BET OVER 8 (-118)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

        Both teams are 5-5 on the Over\/Under during their last 10 games. The Padres have hit the Over in 5 of their last 6 games.<\/p>\n\n
