Dylan Cease is 12-6 with a 2.27 ERA on the year, and he is exactly the pitcher that the White Sox want on the mound. Look for Cease to record at least eight strikeouts (+115) as the White Sox are finally able to get back on track.

Julio Rodriguez to Record 2+ Hits (+200)

Guardians vs. Mariners Predictions

The Seattle Mariners are hosting the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday with a chance to win the series. Both teams have been better than expected in 2022, and each team is battling for a final spot in the playoffs.

Seattle has gotten a huge boost from rookie Julio Rodriguez this season, and he continues to hit. Take the rookie to record at least two hits on Sunday as it comes with odds at +200.

Nolan Arenado to Record an RBI (+115)
