Chicago vs Cincinnati Stats

Chicago White Sox

The White Sox are struggling on the road with a league-worst 3-17 record, but they have shown some improvement by winning two of their last five games, including a series win against the Marlins. Designated hitter Timothy Elko was a standout player with a key three-run home run in their recent victory. The Cubs are considering starting their top prospect, Cade Horton, in an upcoming game against the Mets. Despite their 19 power ranking, the White Sox are struggling offensively and defensively this season with key injuries to LF Andrew Benintendi and 2B Brandon Drury.

Cincinnati Reds Analysis

The Cincinnati Reds are looking to bounce back from a recent slump by taking advantage of the Chicago White Sox's poor road record. Despite being two games under .500, the Reds are hoping to turn things around with pitcher Nick Lodola set to start on Wednesday night. Lodola has been reliable this season with a record of 3-3 and five quality starts. The Reds will be without several key players due to injuries. Currently ranked 17th in power rankings, the Reds have shown strength offensively, ranking 8th in scoring average. However, their defense ranks 12th, giving up an average of 4.10 points per game. The White Sox have recently had success against the Reds, winning two of their last three matchups.

White Sox Struggling on the Mound, Reds Poised for Victory in Game Two

Davis Martin has proven to be a reliable pitcher for the White Sox despite his current 1-4 record this season. He has faced challenges in preventing runners from reaching base, giving up 48 hits in 42.2 innings of play. Unfortunately, the White Sox have not seen success in Martin's recent starts, losing each of his last five games. Additionally, the team struggles on the road with a poor 3-17 record away from home. On the other hand, the Reds' Lodolo has shown efficiency in limiting hits and walks, allowing only 41 hits in 47.1 innings and walking just seven batters. With the White Sox batting at a .214 average overall and struggling in night games with a 3-14 record, the Reds are poised to secure a victory in game two of the series. It is recommended to take the Reds with the money line in this matchup.
