Yoan Moncada leads the team with a .270 batting average and ten hits, carrying an OBP of .357. Paul DeJong has a team-high two home runs, while Luis Robert Jr. has collected four RBIs.
Game Prediction
This is a no-brainer decision. Chicago has been absolutely terrible this season while the Guardians have been rolling. Allen gives Cleveland a decisive pitching advantage, and the White Sox’s offense will again struggle. Soroka likely won’t last against this lineup that has been grinding out runs all season. Back the Guardians to win and clinch the series at home.

Cleveland Guardians -1.5 (-102)
