The under is 6-1 in these two teams last 7 head to head meetings in Cleveland.
Pick
Chicago comes into this matchup 11 games below .500, but they have had more success recently than Cleveland has. Chicago is starting Dylan Cease, who has allowed three earned runs over his last 12.1 innings pitched. Cleveland is starting Logan Allen, who has allowed three earned runs or fewer in five straight starts. I like the White Sox in this game, as Cease has looked much better in his last two starts.
