Atlanta Braves vs Chicago White Sox Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 8/18/25, 3:47 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 8/18/25 at 10:55 PM in MLB Picks

The Braves have now won five straight games, after taking the final two games of their series at Citi Field and then sweeping the Guardians in Cleveland. In other words, the Braves, with timely hitting and explosive innings, managed to beat two teams with winning records. Starting Monday, they will face the team with the second-worst record in MLB, the White Sox, in their return to Truist Park.

Sunday's victory against the Guardians came by a score of 5-4, thanks to a key home run by Profar that drove in Nacho Álvarez. Even if Acuña or Olson don't homer, the Braves' offense must be able to hit them off the bats of Profar, Harris, or Ozuna, and this happened successfully in their five-game winning streak.

Meanwhile, the White Sox were unable to beat the Royals on Sunday; It was a game Chicago was leading 2-0 going into the bottom of the seventh inning, but the late relief pitch failed, allowing two two-run home runs, one to India and one to Fraizer. For the Sox, Sosa hit his 16th home run of the year on Sunday.
