The Chicago White Sox (19–43) are set to face the Detroit Tigers (41–22) in the final game of their four-game series at Guaranteed Rate Field. The White Sox have struggled this season, currently holding one of the worst records in the league. In contrast, the Tigers have been performing exceptionally well, leading the American League Central division. Detroit has won two of the first three games in this series and aims to secure the series win with a victory today.
Despite their overall struggles, the White Sox have shown signs of improvement in recent games. In their 8–1 victory over the Tigers on June 3, the team displayed offensive prowess, with Michael A. Taylor hitting a home run and stealing a base. The White Sox went 5-for-9 with runners in scoring position during that game, indicating their potential to capitalize on scoring opportunities. Additionally, starting pitcher Sean Smith delivered a strong performance, throwing 5.1 shutout innings. These instances demonstrate that the White Sox are capable of competing effectively when their offense and pitching align.
In today's matchup, the White Sox will face Tigers' starting pitcher Casey Mize, who holds a 6–1 record with a 2.82 ERA. While Mize has been effective this season, the White Sox have previously found success against him, as evidenced by their offensive output in the series. Chicago's lineup, featuring players like Gleyber Torres and Riley Greene, has the potential to challenge Mize if they can maintain their recent offensive momentum. On the mound, the White Sox will start Sean Burke, who has a 3–6 record with a 4.20 ERA. Burke's ability to limit runs and keep the game within reach will be crucial for the White Sox to secure a win.
The White Sox have shown resilience in recent games, managing to secure victories despite their overall season record. Their win on June 3 against the Tigers demonstrates their capability to compete against strong opponents. If the White Sox can replicate their offensive performance and receive solid pitching from Burke, they have a viable path to victory in today's game.
While the Detroit Tigers have been dominant this season, the Chicago White Sox have exhibited the potential to upset stronger teams when their offense and pitching align effectively. Given their recent performance in the series, the White Sox have a realistic opportunity to secure a win against the Tigers in the series finale.
