The Cubs stole nine bases in sweeping a two-game series from the White Sox, and the Guardians could apply similar pressure Thursday on Dylan Cease and White Sox relievers. Cleveland ranks fourth in the AL with 84 steals. While Chicago might have a starting pitching edge with Cease, that's no guarantee because of how well Tanner Bibee is pitching (1.14 July ERA). And Cleveland's offense has been much better than Chicago's versus right-handed pitchers lately. The White Sox have lost five in a row and seven of eight and have begun dealing veterans.
