Chicago White Sox vs Oakland Athletics Prediction: The Athletics won't be able to extend their winning streak

Oakland had a brilliant home stretch, winning 6 out of 8 games, and will now travel to Chicago to face the White Sox. Can the Athletics pick up another win? Let's pick a few bets at once.

Chicago White Sox

The team is uneven on the 2022 championship run, but they are still closing in on their division leaders, who are also unstable. The White Sox are currently just three wins behind Minnesota and just 1.5 behind Cleveland.

Ahead of their series with Oakland, the Chicago Texans took a road trip to Denver, where they exchanged wins with the Colorado Rockies (2:1, 5:6).

Lance Lynn will be the pitcher for the White Sox in the first game of their series with Oakland, 1-3, and a 6.43 ERA in eight starts this season.

Oakland Athletics

The Athletics are the clear underdogs in the American League this season. The team had a classy home stretch, in which they first exchanged wins with Detroit (2:7, 5:0), then beat Texas (5:4, 3:1, 8:11) and, most importantly, beat the Houston Astros (7:5, 5:3, 4:2).

The starting pitcher for Oakland in game one against the White Sox will be James Kaprielian, 1-5 AND a 4.74 ERA in 15 starts this season.

Expert Betting Tips

The Athletics have little chance of winning. The White Sox are highly motivated to chase Cleveland and Minnesota and have to take maximum wins on their home field from the American League outsider. In addition, it's time for pitcher Lance Lynn to improve his stats.
