Cleveland Guardians at Chicago White Sox odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Cleveland Guardians at Chicago White Sox odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Cleveland Guardians (81-62) and Chicago White Sox (33-111) open a 3-game series Monday. First pitch from Guaranteed Rate Field is set for 7:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Guardians vs. White Sox odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 5-5

The Guardians were blanked 4-0 on Sunday against the LA Dodgers, suffering the series loss. Cleveland won the opener 3-1, before dropping the past 2 games by a combined score of 11-2. The Under (8.5) easily cashed Sunday, and the total has gone low at a 6-0-2 rate in the past 8 outings.

The White Sox are actually 2-2 in the past 4 games, pounding the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on Sunday by a 7-2 score as the Under (10.5) cashed. The offense has picked up the pace, averaging 5.3 runs per game (RPG) in the past 4 outings. However, the Under is 2-1 in the past 3 games, and 8-4 across the previous 12 outings.

Guardians at White Sox projected starters

LHP Joey Cantillo vs. TBD

Cantillo (0-3, 7.71 ERA) makes his 5th career start and 6th appearance. He has a 1.61 WHIP, 4.3 BB/9 and 7.2 K/9 in 18 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 4 IP, 7 ER, 6 H (2 HR), 3 BB, 5 K in 8-1 road setback vs. New York Yankees Aug. 21
  • Last appearance: No-decision, 1 2/3 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 0 BB, 1 K in relief appearance last Monday vs. Kansas City Royals
  • 2024 road splits: 0-2, 9.00 ERA, 13 IP, 13 ER, 6 HR, 1.85 WHIP, .294 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 9 BB, 10 K in 3 starts
  • Has never faced White Sox

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Guardians at White Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Guardians 5, White Sox 2

Moneyline

The Guardians (-240) will set you back almost 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s just too much risk for not enough reward, even against the lowly White Sox (+198).

Cleveland is looking to snap back on track after suffering 2 of 3 losses in LA in a marquee series with the Dodgers.

But, if you like the Guardians, back it on the run line instead.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The GUARDIANS -1.5 (-140) are much better priced on the run line, with much less risk. Still, the White Sox +1.5 (+116) have been a major thorn in the side of Cleveland this season, as the teams have split the previous 10 games. In fact, games against the 81-win Guardians account for 15% of the victories this season for the White Sox, which makes very little sense. Be careful.

However, with the White Sox yet to announce a pitcher, it’s a good idea to back Cleveland, although Cantillo isn’t exactly a stud.

Over/Under

UNDER 8.5 (+104) is worth playing lightly at plus-money.

The Under has cashed at an 8-4 pace in the past 12 games for the White Sox, while the Guardians have cashed low at a 6-0-2 pace in the previous 8 outings. The Under went low in 3 of 4 games in the most recent series in Chicago back on May 9-12, too.

PASS. 

The Red Sox will pick up the win as -300 favorites, but the line is too costly. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

The White Sox snapped a 12-game losing streak with a win to close their 3-game series against the Baltimore Orioles before making the trip to Boston. Chicago started that streak back with a 2-run loss Friday. It is 14-56 on the road this season and 57-85 ATS.

White Sox at Red Sox projected starters

LHP Garrett Crochet vs. RHP Cooper Criswell

Crochet (6-10, 3.61 ERA) makes his 29th start. He has a 1.07 WHIP, 2.1 BB/9 and 12.8 K/9 through 132 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 3 1/3 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 0 BB, 8 K in 2-0 home loss to the New York Mets Sunday

White Sox at Red Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Red Sox 4, White Sox 3

Moneyline

PASS.

The White Sox have been unplayable on the moneyline with how poorly they’ve played this season. The Red Sox, on the other hand, are far too expensive to take here.

Run line/Against the spread

BET WHITE SOX +1.5 (-134).

The White Sox are 2-2 in Crochet’s last 4 starts and are 3-2 ATS in his last 5 starts. He is their best starting option on the mound and has had a solid season.

The Red Sox offense has been disastrous as of late, scoring 11 runs in their last 6 games. There’s no reason to think they can get things going against Crochet. The Red Sox have failed to cover in 4 of their last 5.

Take WHITE SOX +1.5 (-134).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8.5 (-105).

The Red Sox have gone Under in 4 of their last 6 games and in 7 of their last 10. Boston has allowed 4 or fewer in 4 of its last 6 and has struggled offensively as well.

The White Sox are 62-72-8 O/U on the season and have gone Under in 7 of their last 10 games. Chicago has gone Under in Crochet’s last 2 starts as well. Take UNDER 8.5 (-105).

Analyzing Friday’s Chicago White Sox at Boston Red Sox odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Chicago White Sox (32-109) and Boston Red Sox (70-70) meet to open a 3-game series Friday. First pitch from Fenway Park is set for 7:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the White Sox vs. Red Sox odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 2-2

Chicago destroyed the Baltimore 8-1 Orioles Wednesday as a whopping +280 road underdog. The win ended a 12-game skid for the White Sox, who are now hoping to string together back-to-back victories for the first time since a 3-game win streak June 27-29.

Boston was dismantled 8-3 by the New York Mets Wednesday as a +104 road underdog. The Red Sox have lost 5 straight. They’ve allowed at least 7 runs in each of their last 2 losses and scored 3 or fewer runs in each of their last 5 defeats.

White Sox at Red Sox projected starters

RHP Davis Martin vs. RHP Nick Pivetta

Martin (0-2, 3.62 ERA) makes his 7th start. He has a 1.39 WHIP, 3.9 BB/9 and 8.9 K/9 through 32 1/3 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 IP, 4 ER, 5 H, 1 BB, 6 K in 5-3 home setback vs. Mets Saturday
  • Has never faced Boston

Pivetta (5-10, 4.53 ERA) makes his 22nd start. He has a 1.14 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 10.8 K/9 through 117 1/3 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 6 IP, 2 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 6 K in 2-1 setback at Detroit Tigers Saturday

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

White Sox at Red Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Red Sox 3, White Sox 2

Moneyline

PASS.

The Red Sox will likely win as -275 favorites, but a line set this heavily is never worth the risk of betting on. Bet the spread and/or Over/Under instead.

Run line/Against the spread

LEAN WHITE SOX +1.5 (+108).

Boston is the better team, but both teams are very cold entering this matchup, which makes the odds for a team like Chicago, which is coming off a surprising blowout win vs. a very good Baltimore team, even better.

Chicago has also played Boston very well recently, winning 6 of the last 10 meetings between these teams and 2 of the last 3.

This is a lean because Chicago is a much worse team than Boston, so the Red Sox blowing out the White Sox is never out of the question.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 9 (-110).

The Under has hit in each of Boston’s last 3 home games and is 6-3 in its last 9 overall. For Chicago, the Under is 6-3-1 in its last 10 games. The Under has also hit in each of the last 3 meetings in Boston and is 6-4 in the last 10 overall.

Be aware that the Over has hit in each of Chicago’s last 3 games.

Season series: Baltimore leads 5-0

White Sox at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 7, White Sox 5

Moneyline

PASS.

I expect the Orioles to cover here as -300 favorites, but this line is set far too heavily in their favor to risk betting on. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

LEAN WHITE SOX +2.5 (-135).

Chicago has finished within 2 runs of Baltimore in 3 of its last 5 losses vs. the Orioles.

The Orioles have been the much hotter team recently, but they have not been so dominant that it is improbable for Chicago to cover here as Baltimore is a mediocre 6-4 in its last 10 games.

This is a lean because Baltimore is obviously the much better team, so betting on the White Sox to cover always comes with a risk.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8.5 (-120).

The Over has hit in 2 of Baltimore’s last 3 games and is 3-1 in Baltimore’s last 4 home games. For Chicago, the Over is 2-0 in its last 2 road games.

The Over has also hit in each of the last 3 Chicago-Baltimore meetings in Baltimore, being 7-1-2 in the last 10 meetings overall.

New York won its 3rd game in a row and 2nd straight over the White Sox, 5-3 on Saturday after a 5-1 win Friday.

The Mets are 6-3 on their road trip which concludes Sunday.

Starter Davis Martin gave up 3 runs in the 1st inning and the White Sox never recovered. RBIs came from RF Corey Julks, DH Gavin Sheets, and 3B Miguel Vargas. It was Chicago’s 9th consecutive loss and 13th in the last 14 games.

Mets at White Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Mets 4, White Sox 2

Moneyline

PASS.

No doubt in my mind that the Mets (-175) will sweep this series on Sunday, but definitely not taking those odds. I’ll take my wager to the run line.

Run line/Against the spread

BET METS -1.5 (-105).

Taking the Mets -1.5 (-105) against the White Sox on Sunday is a solid play. The Mets have been pretty strong on the road, going 37-31, and Manaea has been a big part of that. They also hit better against lefties, which is great news for this matchup. Plus, they’re looking to cap off their 10-game road  trip on a high note after sweeping the Colorado Rockies.

Meanwhile, the White Sox are a mess with just 11 wins in day games and a 56-80 record against the run line this season. The Mets should cover the spread pretty easily.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8 (-105).

Going with the Under seems like a smart choice. These teams have gone under in 8 of their last 10 meetings, and the White Sox have hit the Under in their last 5 games and the Mets in their last 3. Plus, Crochet has allowed more than 3 ER only once in his last 22 starts, and Manaea hasn’t given up more than 3 ER in his last 7 starts. With these trends, a low-scoring game looks pretty likely.

Texas Rangers at Chicago White Sox Game 2 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Texas Rangers at Chicago White Sox odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Texas Rangers (60-71) and Chicago White Sox (31-101) play the 1st and 2nd games of a 3-game set at Guaranteed Rate Field Wednesday. First pitch in Game 2 of the doubleheader is scheduled for 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Rangers vs. White Sox odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

(Records, trends and stats do not include the 1st game of Wednesday’s doubleheader.)

Season series: Rangers lead 4-0

Tuesday’s series opener was suspended after just 4 pitches in the 1st inning and will resume as Game 1 of Wednesday’s doubleheader at 5:10 p.m. ET.

The Rangers are coming off a 2-1 series loss at the Cleveland Guardians over the weekend. They wrapped up the series with a 4-2 loss as +109 underdogs Sunday with the Under (8) hitting. The reigning World Series champions are in 3rd place in the AL West, 9½ games back of the division-leading Houston Astros. They have a 0.2% chance to make the playoffs, according to FanGraphs.com, and are +20000 (bet $100 to win $20,000) to win the division at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The MLB-worst White Sox were swept in 4 games by the visiting Detroit Tigers. They lost 6-3 as +116 underdogs in the Monday finale as the total (9) pushed. Chicago was outscored 33-13 in the series and has lost 8 of its last 9 games, all by 2 or more runs.

Rangers at White Sox projected starters

RHP Jack Leiter vs. TBD

Leiter (0-1, 16.39 ERA) makes his 4th career start. The rookie has a 2.57 WHIP, 5.8 BB/9 and 6.8 K/9 in 9 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 1 2/3 IP, 6 ER, 3 H (1 HR), 3 BB, 1 K in 7-4 home defeat vs. Cleveland Guardians May 14
  • 2024 road stats: 0-0, 12.91 ERA (7 2/3 IP, 11 ER), 15 H, 3 BB, 6 K in 2 starts
  • Has never faced White Sox
  • 2024 stats with Triple-A Round Rock: 6-4, 3.51 ERA (77 IP, 30 ER), 1.26 WHIP, 12.9 K/9 in 17 appearances (16 starts)

The White Sox had not yet announced a Game 2 starter, but RHP Chris Flexen (2-12, 5.34 ERA) is expected to make his 26th start and 28th appearance. He has a 1.50 WHIP, 3.7 BB/9 and 6.3 K/9 in 128 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 6 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 2 BB, 5 K in 5-2 home setback vs. Tigers Friday
  • 2024 home stats: 1-5, 4.26 ERA (76 IP, 36 ER), 1.46 WHIP, 5.9 K/9 in 15 starts
  • 2024 vs. Rangers: 0-1, 1 road start (July 24), 4 2/3 IP, 3 ER, 7 H, 2 BB, 3 K in 10-2 defeat
  • Career vs. Rangers: 6-1, 3.38 ERA (53 1/3 IP, 20 ER), 1.20 WHIP, 7.3 K/9 in 13 appearances (8 starts)

Rangers at White Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Rangers 6, White Sox 5

Moneyline

The RANGERS (-175) are an expensive bet — I rarely recommend MLs at -180 or higher — but they’re facing the least profitable pitcher in MLB this season, according to OddsShark.com. A $100 bettor would be down $1,915 on the year if they were to bet White Sox ML in every Flexen start.

While Leiter has been a liability, allowing 6-plus runs in each start, the Rangers are still 2-1 in his outings, and anything is better than backing Flexen.

BET RANGERS (-175).

Run line/Against the spread

While Texas -1.5 (-110) isn’t a horrible bet, I worry that the Rangers may struggle to win by multiple runs with Leiter taking the mound.

PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.

Over/Under

Nine seems a little low considering Leiter has allowed 19 runs in just 9 1/3 career IP and Flexen has a 6.89 ERA (15 2/3 IP, 12 ER) in 4 August starts. I would play this line up to 10 runs, and Over 5 (-110) in the 1st 5 innings is also a decent play for those who want to solely focus on the starting pitchers.

BET OVER 9 (-115).

Detroit Tigers at Chicago White Sox odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Detroit Tigers at Chicago White Sox odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Detroit Tigers (64-66) and Chicago White Sox (31-99) play the finale of their 4-game series Sunday. First pitch from Guaranteed Rate Field is set for 2:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Tigers vs. White Sox odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tigers lead 7-1

The Tigers continued their dominance of the White Sox this season with a 13-4 victory Saturday behind LHP Tarik Skubal‘s 8-K performance. Detroit had 14 hits, 3 of which were HRs from RF Matt Vierling, 2B Zach McKinstry, and DH Colt Keith. The Tigers have outscored Chicago 43-18 in their 8 meetings.

Despite accumulating 12 hits on Saturday, the White Sox could only muster 4 runs. The combination of LHP Ky Bush and RHP Touki Toussaint allowed 9 ER over 3 2/3 IP. DH Andrew Vaughn went 2-for-4 with 2 RBIs. The White Sox are 18-46 at home and 54-75 against the spread (ATS).

Tigers at White Sox projected starters

RHP Beau Brieske vs. RHP Jonathan Cannon

Brieske (2-3, 4.24 ERA) makes his 7th start and 32nd appearance. He has a 1.35 WHIP, 3.5 BB/9 and 10.0 K/9 in 46 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 2 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 0 BB, 3 K in 8-2 win at the White Sox Wednesday
  • Starter stats: 0-2, 6.00 ERA, 9 IP, 13 H, 7 R (6 ER), 4 BB, 12 K

Cannon (2-7, 4.26 ERA) makes his 15th start and 17th appearance. He has a 1.32 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 6.1 K/9 in 86 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 6 IP, 5 ER, 8 H, 1 BB, 4 K in 5-3 loss at the San Francisco Giants Monday
  • 2024 home splits: 1-2, 3.20 ERA (45 IP, 16 ER), 1.11 WHIP, 5.8 K/9 in 8 games
  • Last start vs Tigers: Loss, 1 IP, 8 R (5 ER), 7 H, 0 BB, 1 K in 11-2 road loss on June 23

Tigers at White Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Tigers 6, White Sox 2

Moneyline

BET TIGERS (-136).

Detroit has completely dictated the series with the White Sox this season. There’s also no reason to fear Chicago’s Gannon as he’s 1-4 over his last 6 starts.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

I’ll take the safer bet with the moneyline.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 9 (-110).

The trends are telling me to take the Under in this one. In their last 10  meetings, they are 7-3 against the Under. The Tigers are Under in 7 of their last 10, the White Sox are 1-4-1 against the Over in their last 6. The Under is also 4-0-1 in Gannon’s last 5 starts.

Chicago White Sox at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Chicago White Sox at San Francisco Giants odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Chicago White Sox (30-97) and San Francisco Giants (65-63) wrap up a 3-game series Wednesday. First pitch from Oracle Park is set for 3:45 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the White Sox vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Giants lead 2-0

The White Sox look to avoid an interleague series sweep after suffering a 4-1 loss as +212 underdogs Tuesday as the Under (7.5) cashed. The Giants have outscored the ChiSox 9-4 in the first 2 games of the series, and the Chicago offense has been limited to just 5 runs in the past 4 games for a 1.25 runs per game (RPG) average. It’s no surprise the Under is 3-0-1 in that span.

The Giants have rattled off 3 consecutive wins to get above the .500 mark, while allowing just 8 runs in the previous 5 outings for a 1.6 RPG average. Like Chicago, the Under is 3-0-1 in San Francisco’s past 4 contests.

Chicago heads into this game just 12-53 on the road, while posting a league-worst minus-263 run differential. The ChiSox are also an MLB-worst 10-29 in interleague play.

San Francisco has managed a 38-27 record at home, while going 17-19 against the American League.

White Sox at Giants projected starters

LHP Garrett Crochet vs. RHP Logan Webb

Crochet (6-9, 3.61 ERA) makes his 26th start. He has a 1.07 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 12.7 K/9 in 124 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 4 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 0 BB, 9 K in 5-4 win at Houston Astros Friday
  • 2024 road splits: 2-3, 3.91 ERA (53 IP, 23 ER), 1.09 WHIP, .205 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 8 HR, 11.5 K/9 in 11 starts
  • Has never faced Giants

Webb (11-8, 3.17 ERA) makes his 26th start. He has a 1.22 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 7.7 K/9 in 164 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 7 2/3 IP, 0 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 7 K in 6-0 home shutout of Atlanta Braves Thursday
  • 2024 home splits: 7-3, 2.26 ERA (83 2/3 IP, 21 ER), 1.00 WHIP, .223 OBA, 1 complete game, 3 HR, 7.0 K/9, in 12 starts
  • Career vs. White Sox: 0-2, 5.73 ERA (11 IP, 7 ER), 1.45 WHIP, 1 BB, 9 K in 2 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

White Sox at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 4, White Sox 2

Moneyline

The Giants (-230) will cost 2.3 times the potential return. That’s quite risky …  even against a 97-loss team.

San Francisco covered the run line in the first 2 games of this series, winning each contest by 2 or more runs as the favorite. However, there is still plenty of risk.

PASS and look to the favorite on the run line instead.

Run line/Against the spread

The GIANTS -1.5 (-102) are a solid play as favorites, although be careful, as Crochet is easily the best White Sox starting pitcher.

It isn’t going to be easy, but once San Francisco gets to the Chicago bullpen, the Giants should have enough offense to pull ahead by at least 2 runs to complete the series sweep.

Over/Under

UNDER 7 (-110) is the lean but only for a half-unit play to be on the safe side.

We’ve seen the Under go 1-0-1 in the first 2 games of this series, with Chicago averaging 2.0 RPG and San Francisco scoring 4.5 RPG. If this finale follows along the same lines, we’ll get another Under result, even if just barely.
