Chicago White Sox vs Cleveland Guardians. The MLB pick for this game is the Cleveland Guardians. In the first game of the doubleheader on Wednesday afternoon, the Guardians attacked like Cobra Kai, striking fast and hard while showing no compassion.
Cleveland pounded Keuchel to the tune of 10-0 before recording an out in the second inning on their way to an 11-1 victory. Cease performed effectively so far this year, but the White Sox will be dealing with a lean bullpen following the work they had to do on Wednesday.
After a sluggish start, Cleveland put up a great offensive showing in the opening, and they awakened a little offensively. Plesac pitches well at home and given Cease’s problems at Progressive Field, the hosts have to win this one. The Cleveland Guardians will win to a predicted score of 5-4.
