Pick
The White Sox have won the first two games in this series and they will be going for the sweep in this matchup. Cleveland has struggled to score runs all season and they are second to last in runs scored in the MLB. Cleveland is starting Logan Allen, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four starts. Chicago is starting Dylan Cease, who has allowed 17 earned runs over his last 20 innings of work. I like the Guardians to get the win and avoid the sweep.
