Chicago White Sox at Cleveland Indians 9/26/21 - MLB Picks & Predictions

AL Central Division rivals will square off on Sunday afternoon, when the Chicago White Sox and the Cleveland Indians wrap up their series from Progressie Field. The White Sox (87-68) have lost six of their last ten games and have wrapped up the division title. Last night, Chicago SP Lance Lynn (10-6) gave up all six runs across six innings during a 6-0 road loss against Cleveland. 

Twenty-seven year old righty Lucas Giolito (10-9 3.70 ERA) looks primed to help the White Sox make a deep postseason run. Chicago has won Giolito’s last three starts and he has allowed six runs over his last 13 plus frames.

The Cleveland Indians are a game below .500 at home and hold a one-game lead over Detroit for second place. During Saturday's home victory, 3B Jose Ramirez homered and drove in three runs to spark the Cleveland offense. SP Eli Morgan (4-7) allowed one hit across six shutout frames to earn the win for the Indians, who improved to 76-78 on the season.

The Indians will turn to talented right-hander Triston McKenize (5-7 4.67 ERA) in the series finale. Through 113 plus innings, McKenzie has struck out 131 batters and owns a solid 1.11 WHIP.
