Pick

The White Sox have lost 13 of their last 17 Games and they have one of the worst records in the American League, while Cleveland is .500 and fighting for the AL Central title. Cleveland has had really solid pitching this year, but their offense has been inconsistent. Luckily for Cleveland, the White Sox team ERA is in the bottom third of the MLB. Cleveland is starting Tanner Bibee, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in five straight starts. Chicago is starting Dylan Cease, who has allowed one earned run in three of his last five starts. Cease has been a bright spot for the White Sox recently, but Cleveland is the better team here. Take the Guardians to get the win.
