### Team Previews #### Chicago White Sox The Chicago White Sox have struggled significantly this season, currently sitting at 46-67. They rank 25th in the league in runs scored and 24th in hits, indicating a lack of offensive firepower. Their batting average of .231 further demonstrates their difficulties at the plate. On the pitching side, the White Sox have a team ERA of 4.39, which places them 23rd in the league. Stripling’s personal struggles with a 5.64 ERA and 2-10 record have not helped the team's cause. Their relief pitching has also been inconsistent, contributing to their overall struggles. #### Oakland Athletics The Oakland Athletics are having a historically poor season, with a record of 27-87. The team sits at the bottom of the league in runs scored, batting average, and hits. They have managed only 352 runs this season, which is a staggering statistic for a Major League team. Jonathan Cannon, the starting pitcher for this matchup, has had a slightly better ERA than Stripling but still holds a 1-5 record. The Athletics' pitching staff has an ERA of 4.87, ranking them 29th in the league. The Athletics have struggled defensively as well, with 69 errors, ranking them 4th in that category.
