Cleveland Guardians vs. Chicago White Sox Prediction
I’m on the under in this game. I just think this is a really solid pitching matchup and while the White Sox have been really good against lefties in 2026, Messick’s been arguably the staff ace for Cleveland. On the flipside, the Guardians are banged up and are putting out a weak lineup as of late and I think that Burke can hold Cleveland in check and ultimately keep this one low-scoring. Give me the under here.
