Pick
Cleveland comes into this matchup with one of the lowest scoring offenses, but their pitching staff has been very good to start the year. The White Sox have struggled with their pitching staff and they have a team ERA close to five. Chicago is starting Michael Kopech, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four starts. Cleveland is starting Cal Quantrill, who has allowed three earned runs or fewer in four straight starts. I like the under in this game, as both pitchers have been solid in their last few starts.
