The Cleveland Indians and Chicago White Sox meet Monday in MLB action at Guaranteed Rate Field.

The Cleveland Indians look to build on their four-game winning streak. The Indians have scored 20 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last six games. The Indians are 5-0 this season when scoring four or more runs. Franmil Reyes leads the Indians with 10 hits and seven RBI while Jose Ramirez and Eddie Rosario have combined for 15 hits and nine RBI. Shane Bieber gets the ball, and he is 0-1 with a 3.65 ERA and 24 strikeouts this season. Bieber is 2-2 with a 2.94 ERA and 63 strikeouts in his career against the White Sox.

The Chicago White Sox look for a win after splitting their last eight games. The White Sox have scored 13 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in six of their last eight games. The White Sox have won four of their last six games when scoring four or more runs. Yermin Mercedes leads the White Sox with 15 hits and seven RBI while Luis Robert and Adam Eaton have combined for 15 hits and nine RBI. Carlos Rodon gets the ball, and he is 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA and nine strikeouts this season. Rodon is 5-5 with a 2.94 ERA and 92 strikeouts in his career against the Indians.

The Indians are 6-20 in their last 26 games as an underdog and 4-0 in their last 4 overall. The White Sox are 17-4 in their last 21 home games and 11-5 in their last 16 during game 1 of a series. The under is 4-1 in Indians last 5 overall. The under is 5-2-1 in White Sox last 8 Monday games. The Indians are 6-0 in the last 6 meetings.

The Chicago White Sox should be favored here, as they’re the better team on paper and have Rodon on the mound, who was great in his opener and is allowing a .191 batting average with 20 strikeouts in 67 at bats against current Indians’ hitters. However, the Cleveland Indians come into this series red hot and a lot of that has to do with an offense that’s tearing the cover off the ball right now. There’s value with the Indians and the plus money.
