Chicago White Sox vs The Athletics Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/19/26

The Chicago White Sox will take on the Athletics the third game of their series. Through the first two games, both teams have come away with a win. On the mound in this one, we will see Nolan Schultz of the White Sox and Jeffrey Springs of the Athletics. Schults has pitched 4.1 innings this season giving up 3 hits, 4 walks, and 4 earned runs against the Tampa Bay Rays. On the other side, Springs has a 0.93 ERA this month pitching 19.1 innings giving up just 6 hits and 2 earned runs. I suspect that Springs will have another good day against a White Sox team that is batting .206 this season.

Outside of the starters, the Athletics are batting .230 this season with 153 hits and 80 runs. The White Sox are batting .206 with 133 hits and 69 runs. These numbers alone give the edge to the Athletics. Jumping to the bullpens, the Athletics bullpen has given up 83 hits and 45 runs this season. The White Sox bullpen has given up 104 hits and 63 earned runs. The White Sox pen also has a WHIP of 1.64. Overall, I think it could be a short day for Schultz and I expect Springs to do well. I am taking the Athletics on the run line.
