The Orioles are coming into this game with a 30-39 record overall and they are 13-22 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games and are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game. They just won their 3-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays 2-1 and they are playing the series opener of a 4-game series with the White Sox on Thursday. This will be the 1st game of the series on Thursday with the series finale of their series against the Washington Nationals still to be played on Wednesday. Tyler Wells is the starting pitcher for them on Wednesday while Dean Kremer will be on the mound for them here on Thursday. He is 1-1 with a 2.35 ERA this season. His team won their last 2 straight games this season with him starting. In his last start, he allowed 0 ER, 0 HRs, and 1 BB with 5 Ks on 5 hits in 6 IP against the Tampa Bay Rays. They scored 0 runs in their last series averaging 0 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 3 runs against them averaging 3 runs allowed per game with the final game of that series still to be played.

 

The White Sox are coming into this game with a 33-33 record overall and they are 15-17 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 3 of their last 4 games and are coming into this one on a 2 game winning streak. They just lost their 3-game series against the Houston Astros 2-1 and they are playing the series opener of a 4-game series with the Orioles on Thursday. This will be the 1st game of the series on Thursday with the series finale of their series against the Toronto Blue Jays still to be played on Wednesday. Lucas Giolito is the starting pitcher for them on Wednesday while Johnny Cueto will be on the mound for them here on Thursday. He is 1-3 with a 2.95 ERA this season. His team lost 4 of their last 5 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 0 earned runs, 0 homers, and 2 BB with 5 strikeouts on 2 hits in 7 innings played against the Houston Astros. They scored 15 runs in their last series averaging 7.5 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 13 runs against them averaging 6.5 runs allowed per game with the final game of that series still to be played.

 

The White Sox are coming into this game with major problems in their bullpen this season but they have been hitting the ball very well in their recent games and have been getting some wins in high scoring games when their pitching is not there for them. They are going up against an Orioles team that has not been good this season when playing on the road and they have been losing a lot of games recently against some of the bottom teams in the MLB. They were playing well against teams in their division but outside of those games they have not been great and they will likely not be able to keep up with a White Sox team that has had their bats heating up recently. Cueto is starting here and he has been good this season and will likely keep that up here with another good performance to take some stress off their bullpen. Kremer is starting for the orioles and he has been good in his few starts this season but he just came off of an injury and still has not started in many games. The White Sox will likely get to him here for some runs and they should keep up their streak winning this game at home. The best bet here is on the White Sox to win this game.

"I thought Fedde threw the ball extremely well. He really pitched to the edges well. We helped him out by chasing. We just didn't square many balls up. I think our at-bats for the most part these past few weeks have been really good (but) tonight we just didn't have a lot of hard contact." - Brandon Hyde after his team’s loss against the Nationals on Tuesday.

 

 

"A very special win. Starting with Cease and then coming back like we did." - Tony La Russa after his team’s win against the Blue Jays on Tuesday.
