American League Wild Card Race Heats Up

White Sox vs Guardians Picks

Expect Saturday’s game to be tension filled and have a playoff vibe to it. Coverage is expected to begin at 6:10 PM ET.

Let’s check the latest MLB news, stats, injury reports, and MLB odds for White Sox vs Guardians. We’ve plenty of MLB picks & predictions.

White Sox Must Turn the Tide

Currently, the Chicago White Sox are in the middle of a small three-game losing skid. They have lost two to the Houston Astros and the series opener to the Cleveland Guardians. They have the roster to be one of the top MLB picks to win the AL Central; it is simply a matter of if they will do it.

With a 61-59 record, they are still in the hunt. However, against the run line, they are a mere 54-66. They are sending Johnny Cueto to the mound for Saturday’s contest.

He has a 5-5 record with a 2.78 ERA this season. In three of his last four starts, the game has finished under the run threshold for that day’s MLB lines.

This team has the makings of a playoff team. The unfortunate part for Chicago is the fact that the American League is compacted by many teams who are still in the hunt.

Every day is a playoff game, and every series is a must-win. If the White Sox want to play postseason baseball, they have to win on the road Saturday in Cleveland.

Guardians Need Separation in Division

The Cleveland Guardians have a slight one-game lead over the Minnesota Twins in the AL Central division race. With the American League Wild Card race tight as ever, it is even more crucial for the Guardians to start creating separation between themselves and their division rivals. Winning the series against the White Sox is a step in that direction.

For Saturday’s potential series-clinching win, they are giving the ball to Shane Bieber. Bieber has an 8-6 record with a 3.18 ERA.

The Guardians have won their past four games where Bieber has started. He will look to continue that trend on Saturday evening.

In those last four games for Cleveland, they have covered the run line in each of those wins. They are going to take their 32-24 home record against the White Sox and hopefully begin to extend their division lead.

White Sox vs Guardians Name Head-to-Head

Saturday’s matchup is the 15th time these two teams will have met this season.

Currently, the Cleveland Guardians have a 9-5 season series lead with five more games to go, including tonight’s game.

These two division rivals will surely be putting pressure on one another as the season moves along.
