Chicago White Sox vs St. Louis Cardinals Pick
St. Louis has a significant advantage on the mound with Leahy facing a struggling Castillo. The White Sox starter has allowed too much traffic throughout the season and has had trouble keeping the ball in the park. Look for the Cardinals to produce enough offense early and give Leahy a lead, resulting in a home victory Saturday.
