Randy’s Pick
The Chicago White Sox just can't string together wins, their offense is inconsistent, and Dylan Cease has been just as hit or miss this season as well. The St. Louis Cardinals have issues of their own, but they have Jordan Montgomery on the mound, a pitcher with a 3.28 ERA and 1.24 WHIP. The Cards have a clear pitching edge in this spot. Pick 'em spot, give me the Cardinals.
