The Chicago White Sox will play the Cleveland Guardians in Game 3 of their series at Progressive Field on Sunday afternoon.

The Cleveland Guardians are 64-56 this season and have lost three of their last five games. Cleveland won Game 1 of this series by a score of 5-2 on Friday night. The Cleveland pitching staff has a 3.75 ERA, a 1.21 WHIP, and a .238 opponent batting average this season. The Guardians offense has scored 521 runs with a .252 batting average and a .315 on base percentage. Jose Ramirez is batting .281 with 23 home runs and 99 RBI’s for the Guardians this season. The projected starter for Cleveland is Dylan Cease, who is 12-5 with a 2.09 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP over 133.2 innings pitched this season.

The Chicago White Sox are 62-59 this season and have lost three of their last four games. Chicago won Game 2 of this series by a score of 2-0 on Saturday night. The Chicago pitching staff has a 3.98 ERA, a 1.32 WHIP, and a .246 opponent batting average. The White Sox offense has scored 509 runs with a .259 batting average and a .313 on base percentage this year. Jose Abreu is batting .308 with 14 home runs and 58 RBI’s for the White Sox this season. The projected starter for Chicago is Aaron Civale, who is 2-5 with a 5.63 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP over 64 innings pitched this season.

Chicago is 13-3 in their last 16 Sunday games and 2-4 in their last 6 road games. The over is 3-1-1 in Chicago’s last 5 Sunday games. Cleveland is 6-1 in their last 7 game three’s of a series and 10-4 in their last 14 games. The under is 6-2 in Cleveland’s last 8 home games. The under is 5-0 in these two teams last 5 head to head meetings in Cleveland.

The battle for the AL Central is heating up and these two teams, along with the Twins, are fighting for the division title. Cleveland currently holds a one game lead on Minnesota and a 2.5 game lead on Chicago. Cleveland is starting Aaron Civale, who has allowed two runs or less in each of his last four starts. For Chicago, Dylan Cease has been one of the best pitchers in baseball and has allowed six runs over his last 23 innings pitched. I like the under with how well these pitchers have been doing.

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
