Why Leo made this decisionBullpen game impact
Chicago White Sox is using a bullpen game. Hagen Smith is expected to cover about 2.0 innings, leaving roughly 7.0 innings to the bullpen. The pen carries 9.0/10 risk with 5.0/10 recent efficiency. That heavy bullpen exposure strengthens the case for Cleveland Guardians. The bullpen efficiency comparison is 6.3/10 for Cleveland Guardians versus 5.0/10 for Chicago White Sox.
This is a bullpen game -- no confirmed traditional starter, so Leo does not publish an official pick here.
