The Chicago White Sox are predicted to win against the Houston Astros on Thursday, according to a sports betting analysis from the New York Post. The article focuses on MLB betting picks and odds for the upcoming game.

Hunter Brown is scheduled to start for the Astros. The White Sox will counter with Luis Castillo, who has a 1-1 record against the Astros this season. Castillo has allowed 17 runs on 31 hits, including seven home runs, over 22 innings pitched in previous matchups. Despite being listed as road dogs, the prediction favors the White Sox at +138 odds on FanDuel.

The analysis also briefly mentions other sports news, including a New York Mets victory over the Tampa Bay Rays and a humorous note about college football season and NFL bets.
