Chicago And Its Bats Are Back In Another Slump

The White Sox had a rare outburst on offense in an 11-4 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday, but they followed that effort up with a 4-1 loss on Wednesday to fall to 2-6 SU over their last eight games. Even with that 11-run game included, Chicago has averaged only 3.38 runs per game over this current eight-game slump.

Chicago went 6-2 SU and averaged 6.88 runs per game in the eight games prior to this recent slump. Bettors taking Chicago as their White Sox vs Giants prediction will be looking for that version of the White Sox to show up against San Francisco on Friday.

San Francisco Has Been Streaky In 2022

The Giants fell to 3-7 SU over their last 10 games with a 3-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday night. San Francisco closed as a -200 favorite in that game and has lost as a favorite of -160 or higher four times during this recent slump.

Big ups and downs have been common for the Giants this season. San Francisco went 7-1 SU in the eight games before this recent slump and has had four different winning streaks of five games or more in 2022. But the club has also had two five-game losing streaks this year and is certainly in bad form at the moment after going 2-3 SU at home in its last five games against the lowly Tigers and Cincinnati Reds.

White Sox vs Giants Pick & Insights

White Sox: Keys to Victory

Chicago is 8-1 SU in its last nine games with four or more runs scored and 0-8 SU in its last eight games when scoring three runs or less. With Lance Lynn still finding his form after a long stint on the injured list, the White Sox need to have a good day at the plate if they hope to pull off an upset as a White Sox vs Giants prediction.

Giants: Keys to Victory

Alex Cobb is 1-3 with an 8.34 ERA and a 1.90 WHIP in five career starts against the White Sox. The Giants should be able to produce on offense against Lynn and this shaky White Sox bullpen, but they'll need Cobb to pitch well enough to keep this one close to give them a shot at being the winning White Sox vs Giants pick.
