Guardians vs White Sox Prediction 
Cleveland finally picked up some momentum with a series sweep over Houston earlier this week and they need to keep that going in this series to get back in the AL Central race. The Guardians are 23-25 on the road this year, while the White Sox are 20-26 at home. In game one, we have seen Smith really struggle for Chicago in recent starts, so give me the Guardians to win. In game two, we have seen each pitcher be very inconsistent, so I think we can go over this low total.
