The bottom-two teams in the AL Central will square off in a four-game set at U.S Cellular Field in Chicago starting Monday night. The Chicago White Sox are returning home from a successful road-trip which saw them take five of six, but I think the home-team is coming in overrated here and I like the visiting Cleveland Indians as both clubs will sent their ace to the mound.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - The White Sox will hand the ball to Chris Sale (3-1, 5.09 ERA) who's had a disappointing start to the year. He lasted just 5 1/3 innings his last home-start over which he gave up five runs on seven hits with a season-high five walks. Tonight won't be a walk in the park either as he's 3-4 with a 4.29 ERA in 21 appearances (10 starts) versus Cleveland who will counter with Corey Kluber (1-5 , 4.27 ERA) who's off eight scoreless innings against the Cardinals. He struck out no less than 18 batters (!) and I'm counting on the reigning Cy Young award winner's early woes to be behind him now.

2. The Tribe's Ability To Bounce Back - Cleveland failed to complete the sweep of a three-game set at Texas last night as it lost 5-1. It is however 7-2 in its last nine games following a loss and 4-0 in Kluber's last four starts after scoring two runs or less in its previous game.

3. X-Factor - Carlos Santana has good numbers against Sale going 10-for-27 with three walks over previous meetings.

Selection: This is a play on the Cleveland Indians +1.5 (6*)
