Cleveland Guardians vs Chicago White Sox 3/1/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

The Cleveland Guardians will go against the Chicago White Sox in MLB action in Camelback Ranch Phoenix, AZ, on Wednesday, March 1, 2023, at 4:05 PM ET.

The Cleveland Guardians are coming back to the field with the assurance that comes only from a playoff victory after exceeding expectations by making it to the Division Series last year.

Over the offseason, the Guardians didn’t make many roster changes, but they also weren’t really required to. The two obvious needs for the team were a catcher and a powerful batter, and they acquired both players before Christmas.

Josh Bell, a first baseman, signed a two-year, $33 million contract with the Guardians on December 12, 2022. Three days later, they signed catcher Mike Zunino to a $6 million, one-year contract.

José Ramrez will place at least in the top two for the AL MVP award, which is a significantly riskier forecast.

Although playing for a team in a lesser market, the talented third baseman often places highly in the MVP voting, and 2023 might be his year.

The regular suspects—Shane Bieber, Triston McKenzie, Cal Quantrill, Aaron Civale, and Zach Plesac—will make up the Guardians’ starting lineup.

Cody Morris, who made his MLB debut at the conclusion of the 2022 season, will probably also be incorporated into the rotation, particularly if any injuries or scheduling conflicts arise.

If Civale and Plesac don’t want Morris or another Triple-A pitcher to take their place in the rotation, they’ll need to demonstrate that they can stay healthy and lower their ERAs by 2022.

The Cleveland Guardians are 3-2 in their last 5 matches against the spread.
The Cleveland Guardians are 46-34 in their road matches against the spread.
The totals went OVER in 5 of Guardians’ last 5 matches.

One of Major League Baseball’s biggest letdowns in 2022 was the Chicago White Sox. They were strong favorites to win the American League Central, one of baseball’s worst divisions.

Yet the White Sox struggled to get going and never found their footing.

Former manager Tony LaRussa, who frequently made questionable decisions that didn’t seem to be in the best interests of his squad, received some of the blame. He also wouldn’t back down when it appeared that certain guys weren’t giving it their all. For the Sox, injuries also posed a serious problem.

Tim Anderson, Yoan Moncada, Yasmani Grandal, Luis Robert, Eloy Jimenez, and Jose Abreu were important players who weren’t frequently on the field at once.

Pitchers Joe Kelly, Michael Kopech, and Lance Lynn were all hurt. In addition to these problems, Rick Hahn’s roster construction contributed significantly to the White Sox’s inability to play strong defense for much of the year.

The White Sox ended 81-81, 11 games back of the Cleveland Guardians in the first place. 2023 will require a strong start.

The Chicago White Sox is 3-2 in their last 5 matches against the spread.
The Chicago White Sox is 39-42 in their road matches against the spread.
The totals went OVER in 2 of the White Sox’ last 5 matches.
