San Francisco vs Chicago Stats

San Francisco Giants

The San Francisco Giants are currently in third place in the NL West, 6.5 games behind the division leading Dodgers. They recently missed an opportunity to pick up easy wins against the Marlins and White Sox, getting swept by the Marlins and splitting their first two games with the White Sox. In Saturday's game, they were shut out by Chicago with only four hits, two of which came from Christian Koss, who is not an everyday player. The Giants are still adjusting to having Rafael Devers on the team, who has 17 home runs and 63 RBIs on the season. Heliot Ramos has also been a key player for the Giants with 13 home runs and 44 RBIs. Justin Verlander will make his 13th start of the season for the Giants, looking for his first win. Currently, the Giants are ranked 16th in offense, 7th in defense, and have a record of 45-37 this season.

Chicago White Sox Analysis

Despite recent wins, the Chicago White Sox are not expected to compete for the AL Central crown this season, as they currently sit 24.5 games behind the division leader. Andrew Benintendi provided the winning run in their latest victory over San Francisco, showcasing his value as a player who has found success with the team. Benintendi and Miguel Vargas lead the team in home runs and RBIs, respectively. Jonathan Cannon will make his return to the mound after a back injury, hoping to improve on his 4.66 ERA and 2-7 record. Overall, the White Sox have struggled this season, ranking 28th in offense and 21st in defense, with a 26-56 record. Despite recent success against San Francisco, they continue to face tough challenges in the highly competitive AL Central.

Justin Verlander's Return Bolsters Giants' Odds Against Struggling White Sox Starter

Neither team's pitcher inspires much confidence for this bet, however, Justin Verlander is currently healthy and boasts a Hall of Fame-worthy track record. Verlander has not allowed more than three earned runs in any of his last five games, facing a Chicago offense that ranks 28th in run production. On the other hand, Jonathan Cannon, who has been out of play since June 2nd, is set to return to the mound. Cannon not only returns from a challenging injury but also struggled prior to his absence. The White Sox have suffered losses in four of their last five games with Cannon as the starter. With San Francisco still in contention for the postseason, it is likely they will secure a win in this matchup. Therefore, the Giants are the favored choice for victory in this game.
