Guardians vs White Sox Prediction
The Guardians are the better team and should be favored at home, but the White Sox have caught fire over the last couple of weeks and are cashing tickets in the big underdog role. Bibee has been hittable this season and has allowed four or more earned runs in five of his last seven starts. Perez has been solid this season, which includes allowing nine earned runs in his last 25.2 innings. It’s not going to last much longer, as the White Sox are the White Sox. However, I’m going to keep backing them as long as these big prices keep hitting.
