Total: 7.50 | -106.00 Over
Result: Loss
While I don't expect the White Sox to give up 21 runs and 25 hits like they did to the Astros Thursday night, I do expect enough scoring for this game to go Over the total.
The Guardians are averaging 5.4 runs in their last five games. They draw Lance Lynn, who has been a major disappointment this season. Lynn has been at his worst on the road where he's 0-3 with a 7.46 ERA and 1.62 WHIP in five away starts. He's nothing more than an innings-eater at this stage of his career - and not a very good one either.
The White Sox face Triston McKenzie, who is a good pitcher but has several factors working against him here. McKenzie has a 4.62 night ERA and is 0-2 with a 7.28 ERA and 1.41 WHIP career-wise against the White Sox in 29 2/3 innings. The White Sox have scored four or more runs in five of their last six games.
