The Baltimore Orioles and Chicago White Sox meet Sunday in MLB action at Guaranteed Rate Field. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.
The Baltimore Orioles have scored 20 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 6 straight games. The Orioles are 7-4 this season when scoring 4 or more runs. Adley Rutschman leads the Orioles with 20 hits and 13 RBI, while Austin Hays and Ryan Mountcastle have combined for 34 hits and 25 RBI. Grayson Rodriguez gets the ball, and he is 0-0 with a 6.75 ERA and 11 strikeouts this season. This will be Rodriguez’s first career game against the White Sox.
The Chicago White Sox have scored 11 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 6 of their last 10 games. The White Sox are 5-3 this season when scoring 4 or more runs. Luis Robert Jr leads the White Sox with 18 hits and 11 RBI, while Andrew Benintendi and Andrew Vaughn have combined for 30 hits and 14 RBI. Dylan Cease gets the ball, and he is 2-0 with a 1.65 ERA and 24 strikeouts this season. Cease is 2-1 with a 3.09 ERA and 33 strikeouts in his career against the Orioles.
The Orioles are 16-36 in their last 52 Sunday games and 0-5 in their last 5 during game 3 of a series. The White Sox are 11-5 in their last 16 Sunday games and 0-5 in their last 5 during game 3 of a series. The over is 3-0-1 in Orioles last 4 overall. The under is 3-0-2 in White Sox last 5 overall. The Orioles are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Chicago and 6-2 in the last 8 meetings.
The Chicago White Sox have a clear edge on the mound with Dylan Cease pitching, and he’s off to a fabulous start this season. Grayson Rodriguez has just 9.1 big league innings under his belt, and he hasn’t been great, which includes getting tagged by the lousy Athletics. Give me the White Sox and the RL for max betting value.
