Chicago White Sox vs Atlanta Braves Prediction: Braves to dominate this opener

The Chicago White Sox and Atlanta Braves will open a quick two-game series at the Guaranteed Rate Field. Both teams come into this series following a defeat. How will they respond here?

The Chicago White Sox's last series was against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and they suffered a sweep defeat. In the opening game, the Chicago White Sox lost 0-3, and while they were solid a bit in game two that ended 3-4, a 0-4 defeat in the finale was a heavy one. However, the Chicago White Sox have been poor in recent series, as their prior ones ended in losses against the Houston Astros and Detroit Tigers. In the MLB this season, the Chicago White Sox have a 21-61 record and are seated in the bottom spot of the American League.

The Atlanta Braves are coming off a series loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. In that series, the Atlanta Braves suffered a 4-3 defeat in the opener but leveled things up in game 2 with a 2-6 win. However, the Atlanta Braves were poor in the finale, losing by three runs in a 4-1 encounter. However, their prior series to that defeat saw the Atlanta Braves pick wins over the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays while completing a sweep over the Detroit Tigers. In the MLB this season, the Atlanta Braves have a 44-34 record and are seated 2nd in the National League East Division. 

The Atlanta Braves should get things right in this game, and I feel confident in them. So far in this season's MLB matches, the Chicago White Sox have been disappointing and have a lot to do. The Atlanta Braves were brilliant the last time they faced the White Sox, and I expect them to win with good runs.
