The Guardians have lost seven of their last 10, yet are -108 moneyline favorites in the MLB odds.
My Guardians vs. White Sox predictions and MLB picks will back Chicago at home on Sunday, Aug. 9.
Who will win Guardians vs White Sox today: White Sox moneyline (+101)
The Chicago White Sox continued a streak of erratic offense on Saturday. Over the last 11 games, they’ve scored six or more five times, and two or fewer six times — none in between.
Facing curveball-happy (28.8%) Joey Cantillo on Sunday, there’s a good chance the hard-hitting Sox appear. Five members of Chicago’s lineup hit at least .348 with a .530 SLG or better against the curve.
The Cleveland Guardians have made their run in the AL Central by beating up on weak teams. The Guardians are 24-33 against foes with a winning record.
Chicago is 35-22 at home, making them an easy underdog pick. I’d take Chicago to -120.
COVERS INTEL: Cantillo is throwing the curve more, but that may be out of necessity, as the other pitches haven’t been effective. Foes are hitting .297 and slugging .531 against the fastball, up 60 and 70 points, respectively, from last season.
Guardians vs White Sox Over/Under pick: Over 8.5 (-103)
While Chicago against Cantillo seems likely to help push this game Over, the White Sox against Cleveland’s pen may provide even more offense.
Cantillo has averaged 4 2/3 innings since the start of July and hasn’t made it into the sixth over that span. The Guardians pen has a 10.80 ERA and 2.60 WHIP over the last three games and has allowed more earned runs (12) than the starters (nine).
Chicago starter Davis Martin has a 10.64 ERA and 1.727 WHIP over the last month, rising to 16.20 and 2.400 in the last two weeks, leading to concerns that he’s tipping his pitches.
