White Sox vs Astros: Game 2 Prediction, Odds and Picks - June 19, MLB 2024
The Chicago White Sox took the first game of a three-game set at home vs. the Houston Astros. Neither team is having a great year, as the Astros are seven games under .500 and the White Sox have the worst record in baseball by a few games.
This is an important game for the Astros. They can't ill-afford to lose a series to the lowly White Sox if they aim to get back to .500 and contend in the AL West at any point this year. To avoid that, they must win Wednesday. Here's what the odds say.
White Sox vs. Astros Baseball Betting Odds
Here are the betting odds for the matchup between the Chicago White Sox and the Houston Astros
Money line: Houston, -120 and Chicago, +100
Run Spread: Houston, -1.5 and Chicago, +1.5
Total Runs: Over 7.5, +100 and Under 7.5, -120
Note: Odds can change between now and first pitch.
The oddsmakers believe the Houston Astros will get a win tonight. They believe it will be a somewhat close game, though. The Astros are on the road, but they are also a team with more than a few superstars. Their record doesn't show it, but they have good players.
The oddsmakers also don't believe it will be a high-scoring affair. The under 7.5 runs odds are much stronger, suggesting that the final score (based on the run spread) might be something like 4-2 Astros.

Predictions for White Sox vs. Astros
It may seem unfathomable that the White Sox might take a series from the Astros, but that's what is likely to happen. Despite what the odds say, the White Sox have a fantastic chance of winning tonight.
They have a significant advantage in the pitching matchup with dark horse Cy Young candidate Garrett Crochet going against Hunter Brown (5.00 ERA). Look for the White Sox to win a close one on June 19.
