Corey's Free Pick
There is trouble on the diamond in the Southside, and it’s not showing signs of stopping. Chicago got really close last night, but after dropping a ninth straight game, the morale in the clubhouse is only lowering. There’s little confidence with Lance Lynn taking the mound this weekend, and it’s likely his presence reflects on the scoreboard. The White Sox will have a shot with this being a bullpen day from Tampa, but take the Over for this AL matchup.
