The pitching from the starter for Chicago will make a huge difference in the game here. Cease has done amazing work all year long even with a record that does not reflect it. However, look for this game to be a pitchers battle and have more about small ball tactics making a difference than anything else. With that being the case look for this game to go on the under. Final Score, Chicago White Sox win on the under 2-1.
