The good news that Pete Rose could be inducted into the Hall of Fame isn't entirely pleasing to Reds fans. Meanwhile, their team lost the first two games of the series against the White Sox, having started as -200 favorites or lower in the first two. A sweep at home on Thursday by the weak White Sox would mean this Reds team doesn't have the firepower to compete with the Cubs, Cardinals, and Brewers in the long run.

Lodolo allowed more hits than expected in Game 2, which ended 4-2 in favor of the White Sox, who scored all four runs before the Reds responded with their first in the bottom of the seventh inning via a home run by Steer. Elly de La Cruz went 1-for-4 in the loss, and his AVG now falls below .250. The Reds' Dominican star has only had a 3-hit game once this season, on March 31.

White Sox first baseman Andrew Vaughn is consistent with his bat, going exactly 1-for-4 in his last five games, the last of which was a home run against the Reds on Wednesday.

No team will be a bigger MLB betting favorite for Thursday than the Reds, with odds of -215 to beat the White Sox on Thursday.

Our Chicago White Sox vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction

Nick Martinez for the Reds and Bryse Wilson for the White Sox are the pitching duel scheduled for Thursday. Both have losing records and ERAs above 4.00 this season. Wilson pitched five innings and allowed just one earned run, in the first inning, in his last outing against the Marlins. The White Sox right-hander hasn't had long outings outside of Chicago this season. It would be unthinkable for the Reds to fail to win a game against the White Sox in Cincinnati. Our prediction for White Sox vs Reds is: Reds -1.5.

Prediction:

 

Reds -1.5.
