ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’ll probably stick with the White Sox. Clevinger had a pretty terrible outing back on September 2 versus the Tigers, giving up eight earned on 12 hits in 4.0 innings. That said, two of Clevinger’s last three starts were very nice. In that pair total, Clevinger put up 14.0 innings with just one earned on four hits and two walks, going 2-0. He should be okay here. In the Tuesday doubleheader matchups, the White Sox were a mixed bag, but the good news is that they scored 16 total runs. I like Clevinger to put up a quality start here as the Chicago offense stays hot.
