White Sox at Indians 5/30/18 - MLB Picks & Predictions

The Chicago White Sox will look to snap a three-game losing skid when they battle the Cleveland Indians from Progressive Field on Wednesday afternoon. The White Sox have given up 16 runs through the first two games of this series and are 20 games below .500 overall. Last night, Chicago SP Lucas Giolito (3-6) allowed five runs over six frames during a 7-3 loss.

Talented right-hander Reynaldo Lopez (1-3 2.93 ERA) looks like he has a bright future ahead of himself for the White Sox. In his last start, Lopez allowed two runs over seven innings during a 5-4 loss at Detroit. While the White Sox are scuffling, the Cleveland Indians come into this game riding a four-game winning streak. On Tuesday, Michael Brantley, Jose Ramirez, and Jason Kipnis each hit solo home runs to power the Cleveland offense. The Indians are three games above .500 overall and lead the AL Central Division by four games.

Thirty-two year old righty Corey Kluber (7-2 2.17 ERA) is off to a start worthy of a second Cy Young award. Through 78 plus innings, Kluber as struck out 78 batters and owns a sparkling 0.86 WHIP.
