Chicago White Sox vs St. Louis Cardinals Predictions

Chicago's bats face the price test

Chicago scored five runs while Pittsburgh swept their three-game series, according to South Side Sox, a White Sox-focused publication. The series ended with a 2-0 loss. That scoring stretch makes Chicago a difficult sell at SPF's -112 moneyline against St. Louis at -107.

Three games don't establish how Chicago will hit against the Cardinals, and neither starting pitcher is confirmed here. The prices give the White Sox a slight market edge, but there's no supported matchup advantage to justify a winner pick or a moneyline wager. Pass.

Total: Pass at 8.5

SPF lists the total at 8.5, with the over at -102 and the under at -118. Chicago's recent scoring alone doesn't justify paying for the under without confirmed starters or evidence about St. Louis' offense.
