Betting Odds:

• White Sox: -116 (favorites)
• Guardians: -102

Pitching Matchup:

• White Sox: Lucas Giolito (5-5, 5.05 ERA, 1.44 WHIP)
• Guardians: Aaron Civale (2-5, 6.28 ERA, 1.45 WHIP)

Key Stats:

• White Sox are 23-20 on the road
• Tim Anderson hits .412 with 3 HR vs Civale
• Steven Kwan batting .285 with 23 RBI this season
• Josh Naylor hitting .333 vs Giolito

Analysis: The Guardians have a chance to win the series with inconsistent Giolito on the mound. However, Civale must improve from his season performance despite showing promise in his last start. If both starters struggle, expect a high-scoring game making the over 8.5 an attractive bet.

Recommendation: Consider the over 8.5 runs (-120) given both pitchers' inconsistency and the offensive potential of both teams.
