Guardians look to rebound against AL Central-favorite White Sox

The Chicago White Sox were the AL Central favorites heading into 2022, and for good reason. They have a stacked lineup, a couple of great young pitchers, and a stellar closer. But there are some potential weaknesses in that coat of armor they enjoy so very, very much.

That great offense is inconsistent, as they have already experienced so far this season. Despite the combined firepower of Luis Robert, José Abreu, Yasmani Grandal, Eloy Jiménez, and Andrew Vaughn, they rank 10th in the AL in wRC+ (94) and have hit the ninth-most home runs (10).

That starting rotation has already suffered injuries, with renowned Guardian killers Lucas Giolito and Lance Lynn hitting the injured list earlier this month.
