Cleveland Guardians take on the Chicago White Sox in the first game of a four-game set. This is an important matchup as both teams are close to the Division leading twins and a series win by either team will give them momentum moving forward. Cal Quantrill gets the start for Cleveland and Lucas Giolito goes for the Sox. Cal Quantrill is 6-5 this season with a 3.75 ERA in 17 starts. He has faced the White Sox twice this season and has a record of 1-1 with a 5.84 ERA. In his career against the White Sox, he is 1-1 with a 2.76 ERA. Giolito is 6-5 on the season with a 4.69 ERA in 16 starts. This season, against Cleveland, he is 2-0 and a 0.68. In his career against the Guardians, he is 5-3 with an ERA of 1.77. Despite all the injuries, bad defense, and bad managing the Sox fin themselves three games behind the Twins and a game back of Cleveland for second in the division. The Guardians 6-3 against the Sox this season. Two of those Sox wins were with Giolito on the mound. Giolito should be well rested and ready to take on a team he has owned. The Sox offense started to come alive before the break and I am looking for big things in the second half of the season. Look for the Sox to start the second half of the season with a win.

Play on Chicago White Sox. This is a 7* play,
