The White Sox have been and remain the standout story of MLB in 2026. For the first time since 2022, the South Side of Chicago team is leading its division after walking off the Braves in Game 1 of the series and then beating them 2-1 in the next game.
The White Sox are beating the Braves, who boast the best record in MLB, and they're doing it without their home run leader, Murakami, and their star shortstop, Colson Montgomery, due to injuries. But then a man with the same last name emerged in Montgomery's place: Branden Montgomery, the rookie right fielder who, with his walk-off home run in the first game of the series, added two more doubles on Wednesday.
The starting pitcher, who against all odds has a case to compete for the Cy Young Award in the long run, Chris Martin, made his third start of six or more innings without allowing a run and had the composure to escape jams with the bases loaded. It all happened while Sale, the former White Sox star, was pitching for the Braves.
In this heated series, the White Sox will look to complete the sweep on Thursday after winning Game 1 as +128 underdogs and Game 2 as +126 underdogs.

Our Chicago White Sox vs Atlanta Braves Prediction
The Braves and White Sox are among the top seven teams in MLB in terms of average runs per game. The pitching duel that closes the series between Martín Pérez and Anthony Kay looks likely to result in an over/under betting odds.
Kay is coming off a start in Philadelphia where he allowed solid contact; it was, in fact, one of the worst outings of the year overall, which is good for him. However, he was given two HR and his ERA rose above 4.00.
Our prediction for White Sox vs Braves is: Over 8.5 runs.
