Rays vs White Sox Predictions and Picks
"I'm going to lean towards the White Sox here. I just think that the White Sox are the team in far better form right now, and it's hard to ignore what the White Sox are doing right now at the dish. Tampa Bay was playing the better baseball in recent games, but the Rays didn't look great in that series against the Guardians, and I think the White Sox get the win here. Give me Chicago in this one." — Chris Ruffolo, Sports Chat Place
"Tampa Bay's offense should rebound after a quiet weekend, and Houser's steadiness on the mound gives them the edge. Chicago has shown signs of life lately, but Tampa Bay's lineup and better overall pitching staff will be the difference. Final Score Prediction: Tampa Bay Rays win 7-3." — David Anicetti, Picks and Parlays
"With their playoff hopes hanging by a thread, Tampa Bay can't afford to stumble against one of the league's worst teams, regardless of Chicago's recent improvement. The combination of Houser's reliability, Tampa's superior bullpen, and the matchup against a rookie pitcher with control problems gives the Rays a significant edge .... While the White Sox have played spoiler recently, the urgency of Tampa's situation should produce a focused effort. Score Prediction: Tampa Bay Rays 6, Chicago White Sox 3." — Joe Jensen, Predictem
