Chicago vs Baltimore Stats

Chicago White Sox

The Chicago White Sox are currently struggling in the bottom of the AL Central and are facing challenges with a recent losing streak. They are currently 19.5 games behind the division lead and 11.5 games behind the fourth place Royals. In the first game of their recent series, Andrew Benintendi had an RBI-double in the 9th inning, but they still lost 2-1. Benintendi, in his third season with the team, has six home runs and 21 RBIs with a batting average of .236. Miguel Vargas leads the team with eight home runs and 26 RBIs, while Lenyn Sosa has the highest batting average at .286. Adrian Houser, a 32-year-old right-hander, is set to make his third start of the season with a 1-0 record. The team is currently ranked 26th in offense, 21st in defense, and has a record of 18-39 this season.

Baltimore Orioles Analysis

The Baltimore Orioles are currently in fifth place in the American League and are working to improve their standing by attempting to sweep a three-game series. They have won the first two games but are still significantly behind the division leaders. Jackson Holiday, a promising 21-year-old second baseman, hit a leadoff home run in the most recent game. Without star outfielder Cedric Mullins, who is on the IL, the team is relying on hitters like Ryan O'Hearn and Adley Rutschman for offensive production. Charlie Morton will make his 8th start of the season, with mixed results in his previous outings. The Orioles have a power ranking of 28 and rank #25 in offense and #27 in defense. They currently hold a 20-36 overall record and recently went 2-1 against the Chicago White Sox.

White Sox Poised to Secure Victory in Game Three Against Orioles

The Baltimore Orioles, despite winning the first two games of the series, are facing a challenge in game three with pitcher Morton on the mound. Morton, a 41-year-old who transitioned from the bullpen to the starting rotation, has a high ERA above 7.00 and a 1-7 record for the season. This makes him a vulnerable target for the White Sox to generate offense against. The White Sox have been competitive, only losing by one and two runs in the previous games, and are poised to secure a win in this matchup. Pitcher Houser, who has yet to allow a run in his two starts for the White Sox this season, adds to their advantage. Considering these factors, it is advisable to favor the White Sox to emerge victorious in this game.
