Charlie Wright’s Guardians vs White Sox Preview
White Sox starter Aaron Civale is rolling right now.
He hasn’t allowed an earned run in three consecutive starts, allowing just seven hits across that span compared to 20 strikeouts. His increased curveball usage has led directly to more strikeouts — it’s his best swing-and-miss pitch.
Meanwhile, Guardians starter Tanner Bibee has struggled lately, allowing three or more runs in seven of his past eight starts. He’s allowing way more hard contact than ever, and he’s on pace to zoom past his career high in homers allowed.
Led by Colson Montgomery, the White Sox lineup suddenly has some pop, ranking among the top-10 lineups in OPS, wOBA, SLG, and wRC+ against right-handed pitching over the past month.
Pick: White Sox F5 ML (+110, bet365)
