Game Prediction
Cleveland has started the season on an absolute tear. Their pitching has been solid, and the offense seems to do just enough to get the win. The White Sox have struggled this season and are 0-4 on the road. McKenzie wasn’t impressive in his first outing, but this Chicago lineup gives him the opportunity to bounce back and have a good on the mound. The Guardians are, hands down, the better team, and they should easily tally another win today.
