Here’s how the pitching might line up for the White Sox-Guardians ALDS

The Cleveland Guardians and Chicago White Sox are preparing their pitching rotations ahead of their American League Division Series matchup starting Saturday at Progressive Field. Cleveland has set rookie left-hander Parker Messick as its starter for Game 1 and Gavin Williams for Game 2, following a first-round bye. The Guardians are considering Daniel Espino as an opener for Joey Cantillo in Game 3.

Meanwhile, the White Sox have yet to finalize their pitching rotation following their AL Wild Card Series sweep of the Houston Astros. Manager Will Venable's team operates without fixed starters or relievers, relying on matchups and arms such as Anthony Kay, Erick Fedde, Hagen Smith, Davis Martin, and Sean Burke.
