White Sox vs Guardians Prediction 

Cleveland is heating up once again and they are starting to make a push in the AL wild card race. The Guardians are 39-34 at home this year, while the White Sox are 25-48 on the road. Chicago has played much better over the last few weeks and they are starting Martin, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last five starts. Cleveland is going with Messick, who has allowed one earned run or fewer in three of his last four outings. I really like how Messick has pitched in limited action this year and he should have another good outing here. Take Cleveland by at least two runs.
