Cleveland Guardians vs. Chicago White Sox Prediction

I’m on the Guardians here. Davis Martin is still a decent option for the White Sox so far this season, but the White Sox have really cooled off in a big way in the last week or so, while the Guardians are playing some of their best baseball of the entire year and are doing so at the best possible time as they’re trying to make up ground in the AL Central race behind the Detroit Tigers. You could make a case that Cecconi has been Cleveland’s staff ace this season and I think that the Guardians back him up for the win here. Give me Cleveland.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Cleveland -145
