Why bet on the Chicago White Sox?
The hosts lost 12-9 to the Guardians on Monday night but quickly recovered with a 4-1 win in Game 2. Gavin Sheets got a homer in his second-straight game, while Tim Anderson got three hits and two RBI to help score the victory. Chicago was set to play the rubber match on Wednesday. However, the game was postponed due to several positive tests on Cleveland’s end.
Dylan Cease is likely to start for the White Sox on Thursday night. In his six starts this season, Cease is 3–1 with a 2.38 ERA. The 26-year-old pitcher also has 21 hits, nine earned, 13 walks, and 47 strikeouts in 34.0 innings.
Looking into Chicago, the team has a 0-5 record in their last five Thursday games and 2-5 in their last seven in the first game of a series. The under looks like a viable pick for the side after finishing 5-1 in Chicago’s last six in game one of a series.

The Sox have home advantage and are the better team on paper. It’s worth going for them for the straight-up bets. Cease has gotten off to a solid start this year. He’s 1-0 over his last two appearances with one earned on five hits and three walks on top of 13.0 innings. Gil, on the other hand, starts to fire on all cylinders in Triple-A lately but the numbers have been discouraging. Gil closed his 2021 run on a positive note but is yet to return to the same form this season.
