An interleague matchup will take place on Saturday afternoon, when the Chicago White Sox take on the San Francisco Giants from Oracle Park. The White Sox (36-39) are two games above .500 on the road and 5.5 games back of AL Central Division leading Minnesota. Last night, Chicago SP Lance Lynn struck out five batters across six shutout frames during a 1-0 road victory against San Francisco.

Twenty-six year old righty Dylan Cease (6-3 2.56 ERA) will head to the hill for the White Sox in this contest. Chicago has won Cease’s last three starts and he has struck out 32 batters in his last 18 innings.

The San Francisco Giants have dropped seven of their last ten games and trail NL West Division leading Los Angeles by 7.5 games. During Friday night's home loss, San Francisco managed just three hits and left seven men on base. SP Alex Cobb gave up three hits across five shutout innings and did not factor in the decision for the Giants (40-35).

Chicago C Yasmani Grandal (back) has not resumed swinging a bat and his timetable to return is unclear. Through 75 games, Chicago ranks 23rd in OPS and 24th in runs scored. For the season, San Francisco ranks 13th in OPS and 9th in runs scored. Take the White Sox to win on the road. Final Score Prediction, Chicago White Sox win 4-3.
