Guardians vs. White Sox Best MLB Prop Bets

Guardians Best MLB Prop Bet

Parker Messick UNDER 2.5 Earned Runs (-152)

Messick has allowed UNDER 2.5 earned runs in five straight starts and seven of his last eight. He’s also only allowed a total of five earned runs in three starts against the White Sox.

We’re paying a bit more juice than I typically like for a prop, but I think it’s worth it. I’d consider UNDER 1.5 (+151) as well.

Guardians vs. White Sox Prediction and Pick

I give the Guardians an edge on the mound with Messick over Schultz, and Cleveland is 22-17 vs. LHP while Chicago is 17-18 against southpaws this season.

This should be a good game, and a good series in the AL Central, but I think the Guardians take the opener tonight.

Pick: Guardians -140
