Guardians vs White Sox predictions
Jose Ramirez comes into this doubleheader as the Guardians’ hottest bat, and honestly, he's given fans every reason to expect another strong showing at the plate. With his mix of discipline and pop—don’t be surprised if you see Ramirez notch multiple hits, maybe even land one over the wall, plus reel in a couple of RBIs for good measure. Steven Kwan should be right in the thick of things too, putting on his usual clinic in putting the ball in play and getting on base. Pitching-wise, Gavin Williams looks set for a quality start—expect him to work into the middle innings, keep the scoreboard pretty quiet, and rack up a solid handful of strikeouts.
If you’re eyeing the White Sox roster, Andrew Benintendi might be the guy to watch. He’s not likely to put up gaudy power numbers, but his knack for getting on base should give Chicago a couple of opportunities to scratch out runs. Keep an eye on Jonathan Cannon on the mound—he’s probably going to grind out five or six innings, limit major damage, but he’ll have to really work against a Cleveland lineup that loves to run and move runners along. Mike Tauchman and Miguel Vargas might chip in with a hit or two, but Chicago, as a team, has struggled to string together long rallies all season.
With Cleveland already up 3-0 in the season series, it just feels like momentum is on the Guardians’ side again, especially considering their slightly more consistent pitching and a couple of bats that just keep producing. The White Sox will be battling at home and might keep it close early, but when the late innings roll around, Cleveland’s knack for capitalizing on small mistakes could be the difference-maker. Look for the Guardians to continue their roll and grab another win in this matchup.
