Chicago White Sox at Cleveland Guardians Prediction

Heading into Monday’s American League Central matchup between Chicago and Cleveland, the White Sox have a slight edge on the moneyline. However, even though Chicago is 4-1 in Lance Lynn’s 5 outings, I don’t see the White Sox mustering enough offense vs Cal Quantrill. I recommend taking the Guardians on the moneyline.
