Much like most of the season, the White Sox lost another game on Thursday. The White Sox scored three runs, while the pitching gave up five runs. Michael Taylor did have a strong game hitting a home run and driving in two RBIs. Davis Martin got the start and he went 4.1 innings giving up six hits and three runs.
The White Sox are averaging 3.93 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.57 runs per game. The offense is ranked 28th in the league while the defense is ranked 21st. Lenyn Sosa has hit 21 home runs and driven in 72 RBIs. Yoendrys Gómez comes into this game with a 3-3 record and a 4.92 ERA. The White Sox have lost his last three starts. In his last start against the San Diego Padres he went 5.1 innings giving up six hits and three runs.
The Nationals have not found a whole lot of success this season, but they hope they can finish the season strong with a few wins against the White Sox. On Wednesday, the Nationals scored four runs, and that was enough to pick up the win. James Wood had a huge game hitting two home runs and driving in two RBIs. Andrew Alvarez got the start and he went 4.1 innings giving up two hits and zero runs.
The Nationals are averaging 4.23 runs while their pitching is giving up 5.51 runs per game. The offense is ranked 20th but the pitching is ranked 29th. To find success in this series, the pitching is going to have to be a whole lot better. Getting the start for the Nationals will be Cade Cavalli and he sits with a 3-1 record and an ERA of 4.23. In his last start against the New York Mets he went five innings giving up five hits and zero runs.
The Nationals are going to start off this series strong, and it’s going to be because of the pitching here. Cavalii is on the mound and he’s someone I really trust is going to find success here. In his last start he gave up zero runs, and now he faces a much worse offense in the White Sox. Gomez has been fine, but not elite, and he’s going to give up three or four runs here. The bullpen will give a couple more, and Washington will come out ahead. Back the Nationals on the money line.
