Guardians vs. White Sox prediction: Jose Ramirez has favorable early matchup against Sean Newcomb

The Chicago White Sox are starting left-hander Sean Newcomb as an opener in Game 3 of the AL Division Series against the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday. Writer Dylan Svoboda argues that this creates a favorable early matchup for Cleveland hitter Jose Ramirez.

According to Svoboda, Ramirez has previously recorded three hits in four at-bats against Newcomb. The writer highlights Newcomb's recent postseason struggles, including conceding runs in both the AL Wild Card Series and Game 1 of the ALDS, and recommends betting on Ramirez to record a hit in his opening plate appearance.
