🏁 Last Game Recap (April 16)
Oakland edged the White Sox 3–1 on Wednesday behind a 2-run triple from Gio Urshela and a 3-hit night from JJ Bleday. Osvaldo Bido earned the win, and Mason Miller collected his fifth save. Brooks Baldwin’s solo shot was the lone run for Chicago.
💡 ClutchBuzz Athletics vs. White Sox Odds and Prediction
- Score Prediction: Athletics 5, White Sox 4
- Total Prediction: Under 8 runs
- Win Probabilities: Athletics 51% | White Sox 49%
With the A’s offense clicking and JP Sears on the bump, Oakland has the edge — but don’t count out the White Sox’s young core, especially if Baldwin and Sosa get rolling early. Expect a grind-it-out type game, with the under in play.
