The first game of Monday around MLB is also probably its most important as the first-place Chicago White Sox open a huge AL Central series at second-place Cleveland. They are definitely headed in opposite directions of late, and I'd guess this series winner does capture the division. At DraftKings, 59% of handle and 66% of bets are on Cleveland -155, while 97% of money and 69% of wagers are on Over 7.

The Guardians (76-74), meanwhile, are one of those clubs that always seems to "wake up" at the right time of the season, and that has occurred. They have a roster chock full of guys with experience in big games/series like this. However, Chicago leads the season series 6-4 and thus would have to get swept in these three to lose that tiebreaker as this set concludes it.
The team that doesn't win the Central may well earn the AL's third wild-card spot --- the Yankees and Red Sox will take the first two – and the Guardians currently hold it by a game over Toronto. For any playoff spot, they are -180. Fans can try MLB betting on the best sports betting apps and get bonuses.

DraftKings SGP price: +167 (subject to change) Frankly, this is all gravy for the White Sox (-500 for playoffs), as they are a year ahead of schedule in their rebuild. Manager Will Venable's team had a win total of only 67.5 in the spring.
Venable is the -190 favorite for AL Manager of the Year, and deservedly so. Chicago has massively surprised offensively thanks in large part to rookies Munetaka Murakami, Tristan Peters and Sam Antonacci. The pitching staff is starting to develop major cracks, though.
