Orioles vs White Sox: Battle of the Banged-Up

On April 6th, tonight's matchup in Chicago pits the three and six Baltimore Orioles against the four and five Chicago White Sox, tipping off at seven, 40 PM Eastern.

The Orioles are favored at minus 142, with the over-unterset at eight and a half runs. Baltimore's desperate to snap a three-game skid, while the White Sox hoped to build on their early edge.

Grant Taylor takes the mound for Chicago, with a clean zero and zero record, 2.25 ERA, and six strikeouts already.

Baltimore's starter is still to be determined. Last season, the White Sox finished 60 and 102 overall, struggling at home with 33 wins and 81 tries, but their pitchers.

Fanned 8.2 per nine, while allowing 4.6 runs a game. The Orioles win 75 and 87 last year, posting 36 road wins and 81 outings, averaging 7.9 hits and 2.0.8 extra-based knocks per game.

Fans are buzzing about both squads potential, despite rocky starts, as these early losses could shake up the standings quick.

Injuries are piling up like bad beats on both sides. Chicago's missing Emerson Pereira, with an ankle issue, Kyle Teal hamstring, and a slew of elbow problems for Ju Thorpe, Brooks Baldwin, Mike Vassel, Pre-Lander Barrowa, and Kai Bush on longer terms.

Baltimore's dealing with Yarmill Harado's shoulder, Zach Eflin's elbow, and more like Jordan Westperves' UCL tear, plus hamstring and fingerwills for.

Key, guys. Expect the gritty battle with thin rosters, but if Baltimore's bats wake up, they could turn this trip around and head home with momentum flowing. Keep an eye on those lines shifting as first-pitch-nears.
