Chicago White Sox

The Chicago White Sox recently experienced a series loss to the Cubs after series wins over Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay. They are aiming to rebound from the loss and secure their third series win in their last four games on Tuesday. Despite their struggles in scoring runs and batting average rankings in the bottom of the league, Lenyn Sosa leads the team in batting average and Andrew Benintendi leads in home runs and RBI. The White Sox pitching staff is also facing challenges, giving up an average of 4.42 runs per game with an ERA of 4.10.

Philadelphia Phillies Favored Over Chicago White Sox in Potential Pitching Duel

The Philadelphia Phillies have emerged victorious in four out of their last six games, while the Chicago White Sox have faced defeat in three of their last five games. Philadelphia holds the advantage due to their strong performance against right-handed pitchers, facing Cannon, who has struggled on the mound by allowing nine runs in his past three starts. On the other hand, Chicago has one of the weakest bullpens in the league, making it likely that the Phillies will excel offensively in this match. The White Sox may encounter difficulties scoring as they have not performed well against left-handed pitchers and will be facing Luardo, who has shown dominance in recent road starts by allowing merely six runs in his last three games. With Philadelphia's strong bullpen, Chicago’s offense is likely to face difficulties. It is advisable to wager on Philadelphia on the money line.
