- Houston Astros went 2-1 at home vs Chicago last season
- The Under cashed in 46 of Houston's 85 games as a home favorite last year

Head To Head
- This is the first meeting between the teams this season
Chicago White Sox Form
Chicago disappointed in 2022, missing out on the playoffs after a late collapse in form.
The White Sox entered the season as favorites to win the AL Central Division, but finished with a .500 record.
They won five of their final seven games of the regular season to get back to 81-81, but were left cursing a collapse in form in late September.
Chicago lost eight consecutive games to fall out of the race for a wildcard place.
The White Sox are considered a frontrunner to win the AL Central this year despite that underwhelming performance last season, but they are behind Cleveland in the betting.
Houston Astros Form
Only the Los Angeles Dodgers won more regular season games than Houston last season.
The Astros finished 106-56 to march into the playoffs, and they continued that march all the way to World Series glory.
They overcame a 2-1 series deficit by winning three straight games to beat Philadelphia 4-2.
Unsurprisingly, Houston are the favorites to win back-to-back World Series titles, narrowly ahead of the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets.
The Astros are clear favorites to win the AL West Division and are favorites ahead of the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays in the American League betting.
