The Chicago White Sox struggled in their four-game series against the Royals, getting outscored 19-4 and being swept on the road. This loss brings their season record to 10-28, placing them at the bottom of the AL Central standings. In their most recent game, the White Sox were shut out, finishing with only six hits and going one for nine with runners in scoring position. Pitcher Davis Martin took the loss after allowing four runs over 4.1 innings of work. Bryse Wilson will take the mound in the next game, looking to improve his 0-1 record and 5.56 ERA.

Marlins Favored in Matchup Against Struggling White Sox Due to Pitching Strength

Tonight's matchup features two struggling teams at the bottom of their divisions. The Chicago team has faced offensive challenges throughout the season, highlighted by being shut out twice during a recent road series against the Royals. On the other side, Miami secured a victory against the Dodgers this week, showing a glimpse of potential. Despite his 2-3 record, Meyer has been a standout pitcher, averaging more than a strikeout per inning. This bodes well against the White Sox, who have lacked offensive power this season. Considering these factors, the Marlins are the favorable pick for tonight's game, especially with Meyer on the mound. Look for Miami to come out on top, even on the road.
