Chicago White Sox vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction
This series is crucial to who wins the AL Central, and the Guardians should have the edge at home. However, I’ve backed the White Sox a ton this season, and they’ve rewarded me by being the third most profitable team in baseball. The White Sox haven’t gotten respect all season, but they’ve turned a profit only the Brewers and Rays have topped. Williams has been solid, but you can argue Newcomb has been better with a 2.77 ERA and 1.14 WHIP. Like I have all season, I’m going to grab the White Sox at the more favorable price.
