Team Previews
Baltimore Orioles
The Orioles have been one of the surprise teams this season, boasting a solid lineup that has produced consistently. Leading the team in batting average is Gunnar Henderson with .276, while Anthony Santander has been a power threat, hitting 39 home runs and driving in 89 RBIs. Their offense has been backed by a reliable bullpen, which is currently ranked 6th in saves with 41. The starting pitching has been a mixed bag, but Povich's recent performances suggest potential for improvement, especially against a struggling lineup like the White Sox. Their fielding has been decent, with 68 errors on the season, ranking tied for 22nd in the league.
Chicago White Sox
The White Sox have faced a tumultuous season, which has seen them fall to the bottom of the standings. With a batting average of .219, they are struggling to produce runs, and their top hitter, Gavin Sheets, only boasts a .244 average. Andrew Benintendi has provided some power with 15 home runs, but overall, the team lacks offensive firepower. The relief pitching has been subpar as well, with only 18 saves and a collective ERA that ranks them poorly. Their defense has been equally concerning, committing 81 errors, which ranks them 7th in the league. With Nastrini on the mound, the team will need to rally behind him to have any chance at success.
