It is rookie vs ace when the Guardians meet the White Sox in Chicago today. Bibee, the Guardians' young right-hander held two solid teams to just 2 runs total over 13 innings in his last two starts. He has been both consistent and good in July with a 1.44 ERA and a minuscule .165 OP BA in July. The Sox have yet to face Bibee. Sox ace, Cease, has looked more himself after a poor April and May. With just one (very) poor start in his last nine, he three-hit both the Braves and the Twins, allowing just 2 runs in total in 11 innings in his last two appearances. Cease's ERA has ballooned in the sixth and seventh innings so a really long start in unlikely. The Sox' bullpen is not dependable at all. The Guardians, who are usually known for solid relief have their own issues in the pen lately however they are much improved on offense, hitting .271 BA and .791 OPS in the last two weeks. compare the Sox at .251, .668 OPS in the same time frame. The Whits Sox are just 5-14 in July, one of the poorer teams vs right-handed pitching, and giving up 5.9 runs a game over their last seven. While this game could be very close early, I favor the Guardians' bullpen to come through and Cleveland to steal this one on the road.
