An interleague battle concludes Sunday night when the Chicago White Sox (78-80, 43-37 away) visit the San Diego Padres (87-71, 42-34 home). Chicago is a bad, and disappointing, baseball team and will not be in the postseason this year. San Diego currently occupies the second NL Wild Card spot and are three games clear of safety. BetMGM has the opening line at San Diego –165 and the over at seven runs scored.
Andrew Vaughn is having a solid season for Chicago as he leads the team with 17 home runs and 76 RBIs. Jose Abreu is hitting a team high .304 on the year. The White Sox are batting .257 and the pitchers have recorded a 3.92 ERA and 1.29 WHIP.

White Sox vs Padres Pick & Prediction
Last time out, San Diego evened the series up with a 5-2-win Saturday night. The White Sox jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first, but the Padres answered back right away and tied it in the bottom of the first with a Juan Soto solo shot. It stayed 1-1 until the bottom of the sixth inning when the Padres broke the game open with three runs scored. San Diego added an insurance run in the bottom of the seventh and Chicago scored a consolation run in the top of the eighth. The Padres outhit Chicago 9-6 in this one.
Elvis Andrus went 3-4 with one home run, two RBIs, and one run scored in the loss. Manny Machado went -24 with one home run, one RBI, and two runs scored in the win. Mike Clevinger improved to 7-7, Dylan Cease fell to 14-8, and Josh Hader saved his 35th game of the season.
Pitching Matchup: Lance Lynn (7-7, 4.16 ERA, 1.16 WHIP) vs Blake Snell (8-9, 3.47 ERA, 1.23 WHIP)
Tonights Pick:
Chicago is not a good baseball team and have lacked motivation all season long. Out of the playoffs, playing against a team still fighting for the postseason, and spending the weekend in San Diego is not a recipe. Give me San Diego to secure the series win with a Sunday afternoon win.
