It may be old news, but in case you have not heard, the White Sox (43-39) are a good baseball team in 2026. They head to Baltimore tonight holding a share of first place in the AL Central. Meanwhile, the Orioles (39-46) have been less than good at best. Their goal is to climb back into both the race in the AL East (currently 11 games behind the Rays) and the Wild Card (three games behind the final spot).
Chicago arrives after taking two of three from Kansas City over the weekend, whereas Baltimore dropped two of three at home to Washington. The White Sox’ weekend series against the Royals featured both an offensive explosion and a frustrating finish. The high point came Friday when the White Sox smacked Kansas City 22-1. Their offense failed them Saturday but their pitching carried the day in a 2-1 victory. They could not finish off the sweep yesterday, however, falling 5-4. Don’t blame Miguel Vargas for the loss, though. The Chicago slugger homered, doubled, walked twice, and scored a run.
As noted, Baltimore’s weekend against the Nationals was disappointing. The Orioles opened the series with a solid 3-1 victory Friday behind a strong performance on the mound led by Trevor Rogers. The pitching was not as sharp the rest of the weekend and the bats never arrived at the party as the O’s lost 4-3 on Saturday and 6-4 in the series finale yesterday. A positive to be drawn from yesterday’s game was the return of Adley Rutschman to the lineup. He is back not a moment too soon as the Orioles have lost four of their last five games and are searching for positives and momentum.
Tonight, the White Sox will give the ball to right-hander Sean Burke, who has quietly been one of the more consistent starters in the American League this year. Burke enters at 5-4 with a 3.71 ERA and 87 strikeouts in 87.1 innings. Over his last seven outings, Burke has posted a 3.23 ERA while holding opponents to a .216 average.
Baltimore counters with right-hander Shane Baz, who is 4-8 with a 4.31 ERA and 81 strikeouts across 94 innings. Baz took the loss in his most recent appearance, surrendering five runs in a 5-1 defeat to the Angels on June 24. That start aside, recent trends have been encouraging, as Baz has allowed three earned runs or fewer in seven of his last eight starts.
