The Chicago White Sox will be looking to bounce back after their loss to the Tampa Bay Rays in game one of this series on Friday. Expectations were high for the White Sox coming into the season and they certainly haven’t lived up to them yet. As they come into this game below the .500 mark with a record of 23-27 through their first 50 games of the 2022 Major League Baseball season.

Tony Battalio
The defending World Series champions have gotten this series off to a fantastic start as they have won the first two games. They have already secured a share of their four-game series but they can grab a victory with another win here in game number three on Saturday. Atlanta comes into this game with a record of 26-27 through their first 53 games of the 2022 Major League Baseball season. They are currently on a three-game winning streak at the moment as well.
The Colorado Rockies got the season off to a fast start but that fast start quickly fell apart and now they find themselves falling down the ladder. They come into this game with a record of 23-29 through their first 52 games of the 2022 Major League Baseball season. They are currently on a two-game losing streak as they have won only three out of their ten games and will be desperate for a win. However, I don’t see it happening as I am going with the Atlanta Braves to get the win.
Tony’s MLB Pick: Atlanta Braves (-164)

The Colorado Rockies are at the bottom of the NL West with a 23-29 record. They have lost 3 of the last 5 games including the first two games of the series against the Atlanta Braves.
