Chicago White Sox Odds

Chicago White Sox 2025 Season Preview

The Chicago White Sox enter the 2025 MLB season with a mix of anticipation and challenges. After shipping off Dylan Cease last offseason, the White Sox were clearly entering a rebuild, but it didn't seem like it would be as rough as it was last season. However, after dealing Garrett Crochet this past offseason, the White Sox were able to acquire Kyle Teel and Braden Montgomery. Although this may not pay dividends in the short term, the White Sox may have a nice core to build around.

Luis Robert Jr. will look for a bounce back campaign after a rough 2024 season, where he was consistently in and out of the lineup, plagued with injuries.

As projections currently place them as the worst team in the league, this comes as no surprise as this is by design for their rebuild. 

Despite these obstacles, the White Sox remain determined to make strides forward. With a revamped roster and potential breakout performances from key players, they aim to surprise critics and exceed expectations. The AL Central presents opportunities for the White Sox to assert themselves and potentially be pesky. White Sox fans eagerly await the unfolding of the season, hoping for a resurgence and a competitive push in 2025.

Betting on the Chicago White Sox

Below you can see examples for betting on Chicago White Sox.

White Sox Spread (Run Line)

Betting point spreads are wagers based on the expectation that a team will win or lose by a certain number of points -- or runs in baseball's case.

Here’s an example:

• Twins +1.5 (+110)
• White Sox -1.5 (-110)

The Twins are 1.5 run underdogs against the White Sox in this situation. If Chicago wins the game by two or more runs, a $100 wager on the White Sox would come with a payout of $90.91. If Minnesota won the game outright or lost by one run or less, the same $100 wager would net $110 plus the original $100 for $210.

Note: run lines in baseball are typically low considering the game's low-scoring nature, so odds on lines could vary significantly even if the run totals are similar.

White Sox Over/Unders

Over/under, also called point total, is a wager placed on the combined scoring of a single game. Bookmakers come up with a number, and you can either bet the over or — you guessed it — the under. Here’s how it works:

The Yankees play the White Sox, and the over/under is set at 7.5 runs. A wager on the over would require New York and Chicago to score eight total runs or more to win. Betting the under is an expectation that the two teams would score seven or fewer runs. It's also possible for the bet to push, which would happen if the line was a whole number like seven, and the game finished with exactly seven runs scored.

White Sox Moneylines

Check out this example on betting the moneyline:

• White Sox -120
• Angels +130

The minus (-) plus (+) signs distinguish the favorite from the underdog, making Chicago the favorite in this scenario. Odds can be understood more clearly if you think about $10 or $100 increments. A wager on the White Sox odds would mean every $120 bet nets $100. And it's the opposite for underdogs: Here, the Angels moneyline was set at +130, meaning a $100 wager would profit $130.

Moneylines are also commonly used when making parlays, multiple bets tied into one. You bet the White Sox moneyline and a -1.5 run line. Chicago would need to win by two runs or more for that bet to be successful. The risk is greater, but so is the reward with increased odds.

These are among the most fun to bet on, especially if you're already playing fantasy baseball and like the player-specific focus, it offers. Check out a hypothetical example below:

• Andrew Vaughn Home Runs: 27.5
