White Sox vs. Guardians Game 5 prediction: The moneyline pick for the ALDS winner-take-all

Time for a little divine intervention.

Word from Vatican City is that Pope Leo XIV will be watching and praying for his beloved White Sox from the Sistine Chapel while eating a Chicago-style deep dish pizza … and maybe having a little red wine.

Game 4 saw 16 pitchers head to the mound, including the ice cream vendor and parking lot attendant.

Maybe not in the decisive ALDS Game 5. Cleveland will send the reliable Gavin Williams to the hill.

Williams was 14-8 during the regular season but lost Game 2 when he surrendered two runs over five frames.

He mopped up for an inning when Game 4 was all but over.

The White Sox’s Sean Burke, 11-7 this year, was brilliant, tossing a one-hitter for 5 ²/₃ innings at the Guards in the Game 2 win.
