Guardians vs White Sox Expert Betting Advice<\/h2>\n

This will be the first series between these division rivals during the 2023 campaign. The Guardians won the 2022 regular season series 11-7, they went 6-3 at Progressive Field and 3-6 in Chicago.<\/p>\n

The White Sox are playing the second three game series of a nine game homestand after going 1-2 this weekend against the Houston Astros.<\/p>\n

The Guardians are kicking off a six-game road trip that they will wrap up with a three-game series against the New York Mets this weekend.<\/p>\n

Cleveland has a tremendous pitching edge in Game 1 with Bieber starting against Lynn and being backed by a bullpen that is far superior. Both teams have similar statistics against right-handed pitching so jump on the Guardians on the money line<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Sticking with Game 1, Lynn has been getting absolutely smashed with 11 home runs allowed in only 44.1 innings of work<\/strong>. Jose Ramirez is 11-32 against Lynn with four home runs and he has hit a double in three straight games.<\/p>\n

Take his over on total bases with a sprinkle on his home run prop. I don’t see the edges in the second and third games, so let’s stick with these multiple strong plays that Game 1 offers.<\/p>\n
