Pick

Milwaukee comes into this game looking for the sweep in this series and they are 31-27 on the road this year. The Brewers have pitched fairly well this year, but their offense has let them down in more than a few games. Milwaukee is starting Freddy Peralta, who has allowed four earned runs in his last 19 innings. The White Sox are starting Dylan Cease, who has allowed 11 earned runs in his last 12.2 innings of work. Cease did pitch well in his last start against the Yankees, going 5.1 innings of scoreless baseball. I am going to back the White Sox with Cease on the mound here.
