The Chicago White Sox (8-28 SU, 16-20 ATS) conclude their series with the Tampa Bay Rays (19-18 SU, 15-22 ATS) looking to avoid the sweep. The Rays seem set on returning the favor after the White Sox swept them in Chicago earlier this season, as they’ve looked much better at Tropicana Field. The White Sox have played poorly on the road all year, winning just three times in 19 tries.

However, Chris Flexen does give Chicago a chance. The White Sox have gotten quality pitching once every five days from the ex-Mariner, who has given up three runs in his past four starts. The White Sox have lost three of them because they can’t hit worth anything, but the one win came against Tampa Bay. Strange as it is, the Pale Hose have the pitching edge here.

Our Tampa Bay Rays vs Chicago White Sox Prediction

Tampa Bay has played much better as of late, but Aaron Civale hasn’t been the reason for that success. In his past three starts, he hasn’t gotten out of the fifth inning, and the Rays gave up a combined 21 runs in those three games.

It hasn’t mattered much who Civale’s opponent is or where the game is played. He simply hasn’t been able to pitch well since mid-April. He started the year with three sharp outings, but things have taken a drastic turn in the wrong direction ever since. With Chicago’s punchless offense, this might be where he turns it around, but the White Sox tagged him for six runs in Chicago on April 27. With Flexen dealing as of late, the value is actually on the visitors. Our prediction for Chicago vs. Tampa Bay is for the White Sox to win.

Prediction:

 

Chicago White Sox win the match
