Struggling Chicago White Sox Face Uphill Battle Against Oakland Athletics in Upcoming Game
The Chicago White Sox have experienced significant challenges this season, resulting in a poor record that may impact their performance in upcoming games. With a 4-19 record against the American League West, their ability to defend Guaranteed Rate Field and secure a win against a team that has been performing well is questionable. Garrett Crochet, in particular, has been struggling in recent games with an unfavorable 0-3 record, a 7.32 ERA, and a 1.63 WHIP over the last seven games. In comparison, the Oakland Athletics have a more solid bullpen performance, ranking 16th in MLB with a 3.94 reliever ERA, while the White Sox rank 29th with a 4.87 bullpen ERA.
