Result: Loss
8* Chi White Sox (2:10 ET): The White Sox scored six runs in the first inning last night. After that, they sat back and watched starter Carlos Rodon toss a no-hitter. Rodon was actually two outs away from a perfect game when he plunked Indians catcher Roberto Perez. That HBP was the only runner Cleveland had the whole night in what ended up being an 8-0 game. I look for the home team to ride the momentum of that win and go on to take the series. They’ve held Cleveland to just five runs in three games so far.

Rodon wasn’t the first White Sox starter to go the distance without allowing a run this season. Thursday starter Lance Lynn did it his last time out as well. While Lynn did allow five hits in his complete game effort, it still wound up being a 6-0 win with 11 strikeouts and zero walks. Lynn has actually yet to be charged with an earned run this season as the two he allowed in his first start were both unearned. Lynn has very good career numbers against the Indians as he’s 3-1 with a 1.06 ERA in four starts. He has 31 strikeouts in 26 IP. So expect him to pitch well today.

Cleveland doesn’t have a strong lineup. They are batting a collective .195 this season and have been held to four runs or less seven times in the last 10 games. So it will take a Herculean effort from starter Anthony Civale to get it done today. Civale does have two quality starts already, but both were against Detroit. Chicago is averaging 5.2 rpg and will welcome SS Tim Anderson back in the lineup. The White Sox are 22-10 the L3 seasons as a home favorite of -125 to -175. 8* Chi White Sox
