It’s always tough to predict the second game of a doubleheader without knowing what happened in the first game and knowing who gets the ball for the Cleveland Indians would help as well. With that said, the Chicago White Sox are playing the better baseball entering this series and they’re led by one of the best and hottest offenses in baseball. In a game that’s hard to read for many reasons, give me the White Sox.
