Story summary
The Chicago White Sox face the Cleveland Guardians in Game 2 of the American League Division Series on Monday, with Chicago listed as +141 underdogs at FanDuel. The White Sox are employing an opener strategy, contrasting Cleveland's choice to start pitcher Gavin Williams, who has struggled this season. Despite being underdogs, many bettors see value in backing the White Sox due to their recent hot streak and the Guardians' below-average offense that scored just 4.16 runs per game during the regular season. The high-variance nature of baseball makes such matchups intriguing for betting purposes.
