Pick
The Orioles have dominated the first two games in this series and have been very good at home all season long. On the other side, Chicago has played poorly on the road this year and their pitching staff has been a disaster. The White Sox are starting Dylan Cease, who has allowed 14 earned runs in his last two starts (9 IP). The Orioles are starting Kyle Gibson, who has allowed three earned runs or fewer in five of his last seven starts. Gibson has had some issues over the last couple of months, but he should have a solid day against this White Sox offense. I like Baltimore to win by at least two runs.
