Teams looking to get a leg up in their season-opening series meet in Game 3 of their four-game series on Saturday when the Chicago White Sox battle the Houston Astros. The White Sox (1-1), who missed the playoffs a year ago, are looking to rebound this year and return to the postseason for the third time in four years. The Astros (1-1), who have reached the playoffs in each of the past six seasons, have won two World Series during that span and finished runner-up twice. Houston won four of the seven meetings with Chicago last year. Jose Urquidy will be on the hill for Houston, while Lucas Giolito is starting for Chicago.
The game is slated to begin at 2:10 p.m. ET from Minute Maid Park in Houston. The White Sox hit .256 as a team last year, fifth-best in MLB, while the Astros had a .248 average, 12th-best. Houston is the -125 favorite (risk $125 to win $100) on the money line in the latest White Sox vs. Astros odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while the over/under for total runs scored is 8.5.
