The White Sox enter tonight’s game riding momentum after a tight 2–1 win over the Braves on Wednesday night at Rate Field. Chicago scratched across both of its runs in the fourth inning and leaned on a strong pitching performance from starter Davis Martin and three relievers to limit the Braves to just one run. The win continues a strong stretch for Chicago that has seen them climb to the top of the American League Central. Atlanta, meanwhile, has dropped back‑to‑back games in the series but remains firmly atop the National League East.
Tonight, Chicago is expected to turn to Anthony Kay (LHP), who owns a 5–1 record with a 4.40 ERA this season. Kay has been serviceable but not dominant and tends to pitch to contact. Can he keep the Braves from making contact too frequently? The Braves will hand the ball to Martín Pérez (LHP), who enters with a 4–3 record and a strong 3.02 ERA. Pérez’ strength has been his ability to limit baserunners (noted WHIP around 1.06 in recent analysis). This alone makes him a tough matchup against lefty hitters in the White Sox lineup.
The Braves’ history against Kay is extremely limited although Dominic Smith did crack a grand slam against him in his lone at bat against the southpaw. Andrew Benintendi is 4-14 (.286) in his career against Perez. Randal Grichuk is 7-24 (.292) against the Braves’ starter.
