Tampa Bay Rays vs Chicago White Sox Prediction & Picks - MLB

 by Dan Angell in MLB Picks

The Tampa Bay Rays (13-13 SU, 10-16 ATS) look to get themselves right against the Chicago White Sox (3-22 SU, 9-16 ATS). The White Sox's offense has been simply an abomination this season, as Chicago hits .192 as a team and ranks dead last in batting average, home runs and runs scored. The Sox scoring 11 runs in their past three games against Minnesota represents an offensive explosion by their standards; they've only topped three runs five other times this season.

The Rays ended a three-game slide last time out and seem to be getting Zach Eflin back on track. The right-hander has not given up a run in either of his past two starts, a full 12.1 innings without allowing a run. Eflin got off to an ugly start against Toronto and the Angels, but he's looked much more relaxed since April 8. If he's pitching the way he's capable, this will be another low-scoring day for the Pale Hose.

Tampa Bay Rays - Chicago White Sox Key Points

  1. The White Sox have lost seven straight games.
  2. The White Sox have given up at least six runs in seven straight games.
  3. The Rays have won six of seven against the White Sox.
  4. The Rays have lost seven of eight series openers in 2024.

Our Tampa Bay Rays vs Chicago White Sox Prediction

Something has to give here, because both teams have been just awful when starting a series. In eight series openers, the White Sox have been shut out six times and scored just one run in each of the other two. All eight ended up in the loss column for Chicago, and only the season opener against Detroit resulted in a loss of under two runs.

Chris Flexen has actually pitched decently for Chicago in his past two appearances; he just hasn't gotten any help. In five appearances from Flexen, the White Sox have scored a grand total of one run. Four times, Flexen has taken the mound and watched Chicago finish the game with the same number of runs they started with. With Eflin looking strong and the White Sox looking futile, our prediction for Tampa Bay vs. Chicago is White Sox Team Total Under 2.5 Runs.
