Neiffer’s White Sox vs Braves Prediction, Betting Analysis
Spencer Strider isn't the same pitcher we've seen in the past, and he's struggled with power. Strider owns a high 1.55 HR/9 on the season vs. lefties and has given up above-average fly balls and hard contact.
The weather should be decent for hitting, with temps in the high-80s, good humidity, and wind slightly crossing.
Finally, White Sox's Colson Montgomery has been fantastic this season, with ten bombs in 37 games and great underlying numbers.
With that said, I have the true odds here around +450, making this a great bet for tonight's game.
Pick: Colson Montgomery Over 0.5 Home Run
