Braves vs White Sox Betting Prediction
Chicago comes into this series looking to get into the win column for the first time after getting swept by Detroit. The White Sox had a really rough last two months to end the 2023 season and it looks like that may continue this year. Atlanta won two of their first three games against the Phillies and they have scored 25 runs in three games. The Braves have one of the best lineups in the MLB and will be going up against Chris Flexen, who pitched very poorly last season. Take the Braves to win by at least two runs here.
