The Orioles are coming into this game with a 31-39 record overall and they are 13-22 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 2 of their last 3 games and are coming into this one off of a win in their last game. They just split their 2-game series against the Washington Nationals 1-1 and they are playing the 2nd game of a 4-game series with the White Sox on Friday. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Friday with the series opener still to be played on Thursday. Dean Kremer is the starting pitcher for them on Thursday while rookie pitcher Kyle Bradish will be on the mound for them here on Friday. He is 1-4 with a 7.38 ERA this season. His team lost their last 2 straight games this season with him starting. In his last start, he allowed 6 ER, 1 HR, and 1 BB with 3 Ks on 11 hits in 4.1 IP against the Tampa Bay Rays. They scored 7 runs in their last series averaging 3.5 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 3 runs against them averaging 1.5 runs allowed per game.

 

The White Sox are coming into this game with a 33-34 record overall and they are 15-18 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 2 of their last 3 games but are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game which snapped a 2 game winning streak that they were on. They just won their 3-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays 2-1 and they are playing the 2nd game of a 4-game series with the Orioles on Friday. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Friday with the series opener still to be played on Thursday. Johnny Cueto is the starting pitcher for them on Thursday while Michael Kopech will be on the mound for them here on Friday. He is 2-3 with a 2.38 ERA this season. His team lost 3 of their last 4 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 4 earned runs, 2 homers, and 1 BB with 4 strikeouts on 7 hits in 5 innings played against the Houston Astros. They scored 20 runs in their last series averaging just under 7 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 22 runs against them averaging just over 7 runs allowed per game.

 

The White Sox are coming into this game as a favorite with the current betting odds. They have been playing well recently winning their last series against the Jays and their pitching was not great in that series as they allowed many runs but they also scored a lot of runs and have been hitting the ball very well. They are going up against an Orioles team that has been very inconsistent this season but mainly has not been good on the road. Bradish is starting for the orioles here and he is still in his rookie season but he has not been pitching well in his starts and he is coming off of another awful start in his last game. Kopech is starting for the White Sox and he has been their best pitcher on the pitching staff all season with the lowest ERA and overall great performance in most of his starts. The Pitching matchup is heavily in favor of the White Sox here and with the way they have been hitting the ball recently, Bradish is bound to go through more growing pains here in his first season. The best bet here is on the White Sox to win this game.
