Chicago White Sox vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/23/26

There have been 34 runs scored in the first 2 games between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Chicago White Sox. The teams have split the first 2 contests of the series and will close out their set Friday evening. I favor the under in Game 3 given the starting pitching matchup. Michael Soroka is set to make his 5th start with Arizona, and he has been a pleasant surprise so far for the Diamondbacks. Soroka began his season with 10 Ks across 5 scoreless frames against the Tigers. He followed that outing up with 5 innings of 1-run ball against Atlanta. His worst start so far was against Philadelphia, allowing 4 earned runs in 5.2 innings but still recording 10 strikeouts in an Arizona win. Soroka’s last start resulted in 7 efficient innings of 2-run ball against Toronto. His 3.01 FIP supports his 2.78 ERA to this point, and I expect success for the right-hander against this Chicago lineup.

Davis Martin has also been successful this season, posting a 2.16 ERA through his first 25 innings of work. The right-hander has made 4 starts so far, tossing 7 complete frames in each of his last 2 starts. His body of work in April so far reads as 20 innings with just 3 earned runs allowed. He is not a big strikeout arm, instead relying on generating weak contact, but Martin has been the best option in this White Sox rotation so far. He may get a bit dinged up against a quality opponent like Arizona, but I lean towards the under on the posted game total in this game.
