Chicago is 2-9 in their last 11 home games and 4-1 in their last 5 games following a loss while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games overall.
Pick
I’m sticking with the White Sox here. Logan Webb looked pretty good in terms of strikeout numbers in his season debut but he couldn’t necessarily keep runs off of the board and I don’t know if he’ll be able to do it here. Dylan Cease has looked good at home for a while now, and was really strong in his debut, stifling the defending world series champs. I think the White Sox get it done here behind their staff ace so I’ll side with the White Sox here.
