The Indians have won four of their last five games to increase their AL-Central lead to 7 games. Chicago has lost its last two games, dropping two to the Royals. The White Sox do have a chance in this one, as Gonzalez has a 2.02 ERA in his last three outings. He also hasn’t given up more than 3 runs in an outing since June. Carrasco is no slouch either, but his starts have been a little hit-and-miss lately. Look for the White Sox to still play tough at home and get the upset victory tonight.
