The Chicago White Sox kick off a three-game series with the Oakland Athletics. These are two underachieving teams, the A's by design and the Sox just because they are playing bad baseball. The A's will send Luis Medina to the mound. He is 1-7 this season with a 6.84 ERA and a 1.62 WHIP. The White Sox will go with Tanner Banks. He is 0-2 with a 4.50 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP. The Oakland Athletics have the worst record in baseball and were a victim of a perfect game two games ago. Medina is 0-3 with a 6.14 ERA of 6.14, and a 1.32 WHIP at home this season. I like the Sox in this one as I feel they have the better bullpen and their offense is more potent. The Athletics are last in baseball in runs per game this season, averaging under three and a half runs per game. Oakland is just 2-8 in its last ten games. Take the White Sox on this one.

Play on Chicago White Sox.
