White Sox vs Mets Picks and Prediction – 5/28/2025

This Wednesday, Shane Smith and the Chicago White Sox take the mound hoping to avoid a sweep at the hands of Griffin Canning and the New York Mets. Get our free MLB Picks all season long! The White Sox, now 17-37 after Tuesday’s 6-4 loss, are trying to find any consistency amid another tough stretch of the season.

Smith, making one of his early starts, will be under pressure to limit a Mets lineup that’s been red-hot at the plate. He’ll need to keep the ball in the park and work efficiently if the Sox want a chance. Offensively, Chicago must capitalize with runners in scoring position, an area where they’ve struggled all year.

On the other side, Griffin Canning and the Mets are clicking. Tuesday’s win showcased their offensive balance and ability to grind out runs late. Canning has been reliable, commanding the zone well and mixing his pitches to keep hitters off balance. Facing a struggling White Sox offense, he’ll look to pitch deep into the game.

New York has a distinct edge in bullpen depth and offensive firepower. If they play clean defense and give Canning early run support, they should be in control throughout. For Chicago, an early lead and a strong outing from Smith are essential to avoid another loss.

With superior form, home momentum, and more consistency on the mound, the Mets are poised to pull away late. Expect another solid effort from Canning and timely hits from New York’s middle order. Take the Mets to win this game with ease. Final Score Prediction, New York Mets win 6-1.
