MLB Betting Trends
Chicago
The White Sox are just 1-11 in Covey’s last 12 road starts and 6-20 in their last 26 interleague road games.
Cincinnati
The Reds have won six of their last seven against AL Central opponents and 10 of their last 13 home games.
Prediction:
The White Sox may have gotten a win on Tuesday, but Covey has been really struggling lately by allowing at least 4 runs in four straight outings. Romano doesn’t have good numbers, but he has held opponents to two runs or less in three of his last four starts. I think Romano can have another good showing against Chicago today and lead the Reds to a win.
The Pick: Cincinnati Reds -170
