The White Sox are heating up, sweeping Detroit and taking 2 of 3 from the Yankees. They are starting their ace, but Cease has had a disappointing season so far. He now could be emerging from his funk if his last start is an indication. He'll face Eury Perez, the Marlins' young and touted right-hander. Barely out of his teens, he has a 2.25 ERA to start his career. His last two starts have been 5 run shutouts. Perez appears to be limited to 5 innings and Cease has not pitched for length so this game may come down to the bullpen and the offense. It is no surprise that the Marlins have the better bullpen, but they've also hit a ton lately, now 4th in the league in OPS over the last week.

I am not certain the Cease is "fixed", but it appears Perez can hold his own, and I have more confidence in the Marlins in the later innings at the moment. Take the underdogs to win on the road on Friday.
