Chicago at Cleveland

The Chicago White Sox are riding a four-game skid despite just finishing a seven-game homestand. Chicago is 12-22 on the road and doesn't do much well, ranked #26 in runs scored, #28 in on-base percentage, while the pitching staff ranks #24 in team ERA (4.64) and the defense is #24 in fielding. The White Sox are on a 21-44 run, including 19-51 against winning teams. They are also 11-41 on the road versus winning squads and 1-9 away when Dylan Covey takes the mound. Meanwhile, Cleveland is home for the fourth straight game, ranked sixth in runs scored on offense, #12 in on-base percentage, and fourth in slugging. Cleveland is on an 40-17 run at home, including 36-15 here against a right-handed starter. Indians righty Trevor Bauer (2.69 ERA) has struck out at least 11 batters in each of his last four starts, including 12 against this Chicago bunch last week. Cleveland is on an 11-3 run against the White Sox, so back the home team. Play Cleveland.
