The Chicago White Sox will be going for a sweep of their cross-town rivals, the Chicago Cubs. The White Sox offense has found their stride with wins of 10-1 and 7-4. Saturday's game was close until the eighth when the Sox bats plated four runs over the last two innings. The Sox will go for the sweep, sending Dylan Cease to the mound. He has made five starts this season and posted a 4-1 record with a 3.16 ERA and 17 strikeouts in 25.2.
The Cubs have struggled a little lately and have wasted two good performances from Kyle Hendricks. The Cubs bats went quiet again managing just six hits with no Cub's batter getting more than one. The Cubs will look to prevent the sweep by sending Yu Darvish to the mound. Darvish has made five starts this season. He is 4-1 with a 1.80 ERA and 34 Ks in 30.0 innings.
This is a match-up between two pitchers that have been on the top of their game. Darvish could easily get a high strikeout count against the young free-swinging Sox lineup Any mistakes by Darvish could find the seats, however. The Cubs bats have struggled lately and Cease has looked good after early-season struggles. I will take the hotter bats in this one.
Play on the Chicago White Sox.
