The rebuilding White Sox are on pace to lose 103 games. They are 21-36 at home and likely to lose to the Indians. Cleveland is 8-2 versus Chicago this season winning those games by an average of `nearly four runs per game.

I'm a fan of Indians rookie starter Shane Bieber. He's 6-2 with 58 strikeouts in 57 innings. The White Sox have the disadvantage of never having gone against him. Cleveland is 7-3 in Bieber's starts.

Opposing Bieber is southpaw Carlos Rodon. The Indians are 18-12 versus lefty starters. The Indians have already seen Rodon twice this season. Rodon has a 4.76 ERA in his two starts this year against the Indians.

The White Sox were idle on Thursday. That's not necessarily a good thing, though, as Chicago is 13-38 following an off day.
