Cleveland's Aaron Civale could be the most below-the-radar pitcher this month. He is 2-0 with a 1.72 ERA in five July starts. Civale faces a White Sox lineup that has scored fewer than five runs in six of their last eight games. He's backed by a relief corps that has the second-lowest bullpen ERA in the majors.

White Sox starter Michael Kopech has largely been a disappointment given his once high ceiling. However, he pitches better in day games and has a 3.05 ERA in seven career appearances versus Cleveland. He shut out the Guardians in seven innings, giving up only two hits, one walk and posting nine strikeouts when he faced them back on May 24.

The Guardians are swinging cold bats managing just two runs during their past two games. They rank last in the league in homers and 24th in runs and OPS.
