The White Sox (39-68) took a match on a Monday evening and is looking for a new victory tonight to take the series against the Phillies (60-46). The South Siders are 7-3 in their last 10 games and are on the edge of their 40th victory of the season. As a reminder, they only won 42 games in 2024, so this is the achievement for the good.
Jonathan Cannon will make his 16th start of the season, and although he had a heavy outing against Tampa Bay Last week his ERA was usually reduced with a 4.15 ERA in July (four Starts, 21 2⁄3 innings). The record of Cannon is 4-7, and it is on a 4.48 ERA with 72 strikeouts in the year, and has shortened considerably walks since the start of the season.
Cannon can have a hard time with part of the Phillies’Sluggers, such as both Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper have absolutely been mashed in their last 10 games. We all saw Schwarber’s power on a national stage at the All-Star Game, and he maintained it, which Philadelphia led in Thuis Runs (six), RBI (15), walks (seven), Slugging percentage (.821) and covered by a 1,234 OPS. (I hope you have become so enthusiastic about the 1-2-3-4 as I did).
Bryce Harper is not far behind and ranks second in Slugging (.780) and OPS (1,136). Only Trea Turner has more hits than both (13), but in general the Phillies are one of the most popular teams in baseball in recent weeks.
This is how visitors they stand in line tonight:
LEFTHANDER JESús Luzardo makes his 22nd start of the season and will be on the hill for the Phillies. Luzardo started the year strongly, but he has difficulty preventing it from scoring lately, and he has given up four times six or more since 31 May and he gave up that match – woof. Luzardo has an ERA of 4.58 in the season, and even with his difficulties, he still eliminates many boys and is in 13th place in MLB in 2025 with 136 kS with a very efficient strikeout speed of 27.7%.
The good news for the White Sox is that they have Also was one of the best teams since the All-Star Break. In the 10 games since then, the South Siders have only beaten 63 times three times (sixth lowest in MLB), which can be useful to limit the KS against Luzardo tonight. As a team they are also in second place in stroke average (.290), Slugging percentage (.510) and RBI (71), while they are also third in Ops (.851) in all baseball. Maybe Steve Stone had a point when he said to enjoy the ride, because I think the ride is not that bad at this present moment. I will have a different opinion in a few weeks, don’t worry.
One of the main reasons for the offensive success is Colson Montgomery, who has destroyed the third most RBI in MLB (15) since the break and has posted four bombs and has posted a .947 Ops. Luis Robert Jr. Also had a revival, in which he .360/.467/.600 with a 1,067 Ops in his last seven games, and it says that Mike Tauchman is a hit merchant for the South Siders and has his own RBI.
Everyone is rejoicing because Edgar Quero and Kyle Teel are finally in the same line -up, people! For whatever reason, Kyle Teel has only played five games in the past two weeks, which is foolish when you see that he .444/.444/.667 cuts with a home run and a 1,111 Ops in those 18 batters. It is one terribly Small sample size, but it’s really time to let the Rookies get the experience and enable them to grow in their position, while the SOX already has a losing record.
The first pitch takes place at 6:40 PM CT and can be viewed at CHN or listens to the radio on ESPN Chicago AM 1000. Let’s get the W!
