Chicago was held to just four hits in Friday’s loss, not picking up a single extra-base hit on the night. Tim Anderson was the lone player to pick up multiple hits for the White Sox.

MLB Betting Trends

Oakland

The Athletics are 6-1 in their last seven road games against a team with a losing home record and 21-6 in their last 27 against a team with a losing record.

Chicago

The White Sox are 6-20 in their last 26 games against a right-handed starter and 8-20 in their last 28 games on grass.

Prediction:

Roark looked alright in his first start with Oakland last week, throwing five innings and giving up just one run against the Cardinals. Lopez has some bad numbers, but he has been more competitive over the last month. He had a 3.41 ERA over July. Despite that, Oakland still has something to play for. The Athletics have the better balance of hitting and pitching that Chicago just can’t offer. The Sox are without one of their top bats and that isn’t going to help them in this series.

MLB Prediction: Oakland Athletics -160
