Analyzing Tuesday’s Chicago White Sox at Cleveland Guardians Game 2 odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Chicago White Sox (41-43) and Cleveland Guardians (41-42) close out a Tuesday twin bill at Progressive Field with a 7:10 p.m. ET contest. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the White Sox vs. Guardians Game 2 odds with MLB picks and predictions.

This analysis posted prior to Tuesday’s first game between Chicago and Cleveland.

Season series: Cleveland leads 5-1.

The White Sox have allowed 4.76 runs per game (24th MLB) for the season, but they had been cruising along with a 3.57 ERA and 1.20 WHIP over 14 games prior to this series. Cleveland scored 8 in an 8-4 triumph in the series opener Monday.

White Sox at Guardians picks and predictions

Prediction

White Sox 5, Guardians 3

Money line

Chicago went into this week with a league-best .799 OPS against left-handed pitching. With Cease being on a roll, WHITE SOX (-170) is worth a line watch. A tag near -160 would be a solid trigger point.

Run line/Against the spread

Chicago -1.5 (+100) is the better side as listed. Ten of Cleveland’s last 14 losses have been by 3 runs or more.

Over/Under

Both clubs have some Statcast quality-of-contact figures that would indicate runs-per-game marks being a bit outsized.

BACK THE UNDER 8.5 (-112).

The Chicago White Sox (41-44) and Cleveland Guardians (42-42) meet for a Tuesday twin bill. Game 1 at Progressive Field is slated to start at 1:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the White Sox vs. Guardians Game 1 odds with MLB picks and predictions.

White Sox at Guardians picks and predictions

Prediction

White Sox 4, Guardians 3

Money line

On a breezy day with the wind aiding the moundsmen, the biggest lean on this game — and for other reasons — is on the Under.

With Bieber being off his game of late, the slimmest of leans is on the WHITE SOX (+130). However, consider holding out for a better price on either the money or run line.

Run line/Against the spread

Chicago +1.5 (-155) — like the ML play above — has just the slightest lean. Bettors who like to pair underdogs and Unders may want to track this price.

Over/Under

Both clubs have some underlying-analytics drag in their batting numbers. And Statcast quality-of-contact figures also call for both offenses to cool off.

Both bullpens are in good shape heading into this double-dip. BACK THE UNDER 8.5 (-122).

Chicago White Sox at Cleveland Guardians odds, picks and predictions

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

The Chicago White Sox (41-43) and Cleveland Guardians (41-42) clash Monday at  7:10 p.m. ET as they swing into a 4-game set at Progressive Field. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the White Sox vs. Guardians odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Cleveland leads 4-1.

The White Sox have allowed 4.73 runs per game for the season, but they have cruised along with solid pitching of late. Chicago owns a 3.57 ERA, 1.20 WHIP in its last 14 games.

On June 22, the Guardians were 8 games over .500 (36-28) and in 1st place in the AL Central. Since that date, Cleveland is a paltry 5-14. The club’s bats have fallen silent at home as the Guardians own a .602 home OPS in that 19-game stretch.

White Sox at Guardians projected starters

RHP Lance Lynn vs. RHP Cal Quantrill

Lynn (1-1, 5.33 ERA) makes his 6th start of 2022. He has a 1.33 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 8.7 K/9 in 27 IP.

  • Spent the first couple of months of the season on the IL (knee).
  • Allowed 6 runs 3 starts back and 5 in his last start. He split those 2 turns with 6 shutout innings at San Francisco.
  • Current Cleveland batters own an aggregate .804 OPS against him.

Quantrill (4-5, 3.86 ERA) makes his 16th start. He has a 1.30 WHIP, 2.7 BB/9 and 5.6 K/9 in 88 2/3 IP.

  • Has a 2.25 ERA in 4 career starts against Chicago.
  • Owns a fine 2.97 ERA over his last 6 starts at home.

White Sox at Guardians picks and predictions

Prediction

White Sox 5, Guardians 3

Money line

Quantrill has posted some generous rates around the margins, and Lynn’s small-sample-size numbers swing the other way. The Chicago right-hander struggled in his last start, but that was against a better Minnesota offense and on the heels of back-to-back high-pitch-count efforts. And late-career Lynn has been solid against lefty bats which is a big key against this Cleveland offense.

CHICAGO (-115) IS A STRONG PLAY.

Run line/Against the spread

Chicago -1.5 (+135) has some slight lean to it — would be worth some action at +140 or better.

Over/Under

Both clubs have some underlying-analytics drag in their batting numbers. And Statcast quality-of-contact figures also call for both offenses to cool off.

But with two fly-ball pitchers on a warm night with a batter’s breeze in the forecast chips away at potential value. So does the pricing here. STEER CLEAR.

Chicago White Sox at Cleveland Guardians odds, picks and predictions

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

The Chicago White Sox (6-3) face the Cleveland Guardians (4-5) Tuesday in the opener of what is now a three-game set. First Pitch from Progressive Field in Cleveland is scheduled for 6:10 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the White Sox vs. Guardians odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: White Sox won the 2021 series 10-9

These teams were expected to open a four-game set Monday, but a chilly rain/snow mix washed out the opener which has been rescheduled for July 12. The White Sox won five of the nine meetings in Cleveland last season.

The Guardians opened the season with wins in four of their first six games — all on the road — but were swept in a three-game interleague set against the San Francisco Giants over the weekend, so they’re still looking for the first home win of 2022.

White Sox at Guardians: Projected starters

LHP Dallas Keuchel vs. RHP Shane Bieber

Keuchel (1-0, 5.40 ERA) makes his second start. He allowed 3 ER on 6 H and 0 BB with 5 K across 5 IP in his first start versus the Seattle Mariners Wednesday.

  • Posted a 4-7 record and 5.75 ERA with a .310 opponent batting average across 81 1/3 IP in 16 road starts in 2021.
  • Managed a 0-1 record, 6.61 ERA and 4 home runs allowed in just 16 1/3 IP across three starts versus Cleveland last season.

Bieber (0-0, 2.70 ERA) allowed 3 ER on 2 H and 3 BB with 5 K in 5 1/3 IP at the Cincinnati Reds in his second start of the season last Tuesday. This will be his first home outing of 2022.

  • Went 2-2 with a 3.51 ERA with 53 strikeouts over 41 IP across seven starts at Progressive Field in 2021.
  • Managed a tremendous 3-0 record, 1.80 ERA and .169 OBA with 32 K and no HR allowed across 25 IP in four starts against the White Sox last season.

White Sox at Guardians picks and predictions

Prediction

Guardians 4, White Sox 2

Money line

The GUARDIANS (-145) are worth playing as moderate favorites at home. The home side caught a break with the weather Monday, as they’ll now be able to use their ace for this series opener.

While Cleveland hasn’t really supported its Opening Day starter with a lot of offense, he’ll break through against a team he showed well against in 2021.

Run line/Against the spread

GUARDIANS -1.5 (+145) are worth playing very lightly on the run line. Bieber had a tremendous hold on the White Sox last season, racking up three of his seven victories against the Pale Hose. The offense has struggled a bit lately after flying high in Kansas City and Cincinnati, so be careful.

Over/Under

The UNDER 7.5 (-107) might be the best play on the board here.

The Under is 5-1 in the past six games for the ChiSox against a right-handed starting pitcher, while going 7-2-1 in the past 10 as an underdog going back to last season. The Under is also 11-5-1 in the past 17 road games for Chicago.

While the Over is 5-2 in the past seven for Cleveland, the Under is 5-2 in the past seven at Progressive Field, including 2-1 this season. Cleveland’s offense scratched out just 4 total runs in the three-game sweep at the hands of San Francisco.

White Sox at Guardians picks and predictions

Prediction

Guardians 4, White Sox 3

Money line

Figure Cleveland as being a bit of a value play in general heading into this week. Support figures back the club being over-.500 with some pitching indicators pointing to better days ahead.

The batter/pitcher matchups favor the Bieber side of the equation. And the Guardians bullpen is in decent shape heading into the series.

BACK CLEVELAND (-135).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS: Too much juice to wade through here.

Over/Under

A cold-weather game (temps in the mid-30s) and the pitching set-up here makes for a slight lean on the UNDER 7.5 (-107).
