Verdict

CHI White Sox @ CLE Guardians

Cleveland continue to lack consistency, but they have been a lot more reliable than Chicago in recent weeks.

And more importantly, they have the sizeable pitching edge here with Kay in rough form for the visitors, so we are backing the Guardians to take the series finale.
