My Prediction
Tampa Bay Rays by 2Let's talk a little baseball, the Chicago White Sox will be facing off the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field. You wouldn't want to bet against an orange, would you?
The White Sox are sending Burke to the mound with his regular season stats of 4.46 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and wrapping up 19 appearances in his pocket. The Rays, on the other hand, are bringing Baz into the game - 4.31 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and also 19 appearances, please don’t keep this as a side note.
Let's toss a glance at the White Sox lineup. Mike Tauchman and Lenyn Sosa have displayed strong performances, Tauchman has been knocking out a 0.324 average and Sosa with 5 homers among his accolades. While the Rays brought Diaz and Caminero to the plate, with Diaz batting a delightful 0.363 average and Caminero spanking 8 home runs.
Looking back at the previous skirmishes between these two, it's a slight lean towards the Rays, victorious in 3 of the last 5 games.
In terms of recent outings, both these teams have warmed up, winning their last three games. Though overall, Rays have displayed a stronger regular season with a 52-48 record, compared to White Sox flailing at 35-65.
And let's not forget, we are at Tropicana Field which is slightly more favorable to our pitchers. Who knew that the aroma of orange juice could do that?
Considering all that, the stars seem to be aligned in favor of the Tampa Bay Rays.
