Chicago White Sox Betting Prediction

Heading into the 2022 MLB Season, the Chicago White Sox were one of the teams many thought had a chance at the World Series. That’s not the case this season. The White Sox are the second choice to win the AL Central, but many consider the AL Central to be one of the weakest divisions in baseball. Do the naysayers have it right? Or will the Southside Chicago White Sox surprise everyone?

Check out MyBookie’s White Sox betting odds and predictions for 2023 MLB Seasons.

Chicago White Sox: 2023 Season Prediction

Team Names: Chicago White Sox
2022 Season: 81-81 – Home: 37-44 / Away: 44-37
Conference: American League
Division: Central Division
2023 MLB Regular Season: Mar. 30 – Oct. 1

Chicago White Sox to Win the American League Central +171

The White Sox are second choice after the Cleveland Guardians to win the AL Central. The Guardians offer +137 odds to win the division. So the White Sox offer better odds.

For sure, Chicago is a better play than Cleveland. But the White Sox aren’t a better play than the Minnesota Twins. The Twins boast 3 starters that posted sub-4.00 ERAs last season. So Minnesota is the team to back to take the AL Central Division.

Will the White Sox Win the AL Central: No

Chicago White Sox to Win the American League Pennant +1500

At the odds, it’s tough to back the Chi-Sox to win the AL Pennant. On paper, Chicago isn’t a bad team.

Dylan Cease had a 2.20 ERA last season. But the American League is deep with strong pitching. The White Sox could never get on track.

This season could be different. However, do the White Sox really have any shot of beating the New York Yankees, Houston Astros, or even the Tampa Bay Rays and winning the American League?

Then again, we should put things in perspective. The Yankees are at +400 to win the pennant. The Stros show +275 odds to win the ALCS.

The Toronto Blue Jays are at +450 and the Seattle Mariners are at +850. So if you believe the White Sox are as good as Seattle, or almost on par with the Mariners, or have a better shot than the Seattle to make it to the playoffs, by all means back the White Sox at +1500.

That doesn’t mean the Chi-Sox will win the pennant. It does mean you’ve determined they’re a decent play at the odds.

Will the White Sox Win the AL Pennant: No but they offer fair odds to do so

Chicago White Sox to Win the 2023 World Series +2800

Like the odds on the White Sox to win the pennant, it’s tough to argue that Chicago doesn’t offer fair odds to win the Fall Classic. The Chi-Sox have a chance to make the playoffs, which means if they get there, they can win the ALCS, the AL Pennant, and then they can win the World Series.

So if you think Chicago is on par with Toronto or even Seattle and believe Chicago can get it done, then go for it. 28-to-1 odds on the White Sox to win the World Series are fair odds.

Will the White Sox Win the World Series: No but they offer fair odds to do so
