The struggling Chicago White Sox (37-66) host the playoff-contending Philadelphia Phillies (58-44) at Rate Field on Monday, with the visitors heavily favored at -182 against Chicago's +150 underdogs.
Phillies starter Cristopher Sanchez (9-2, 2.40 ERA) brings dominant form into the matchup, having allowed just six runs in his last 44.1 innings, while the White Sox counter with Davis Martin (2-8, 3.89 ERA) as they look to snap back from consecutive disappointing losses.
The contrast couldn't be more stark between Philadelphia's reliable offense (4.6 runs per game) and Chicago's anemic attack (3.70 runs per game), setting the stage for what oddsmakers see as a lopsided affair.

Chicago White Sox vs. Philadelphia Phillies preview
The Phillies arrive at Rate Field with swagger, sitting 23 games over .500 and sending All-Star caliber southpaw Cristopher Sanchez (9-2, 2.40 ERA) to the mound after he's allowed just six runs in his last 44.1 innings.
Chicago counters with Davis Martin (2-8, 3.89 ERA) as the struggling White Sox desperately need a spark after dropping two straight games following a brief post-break surge.
Philadelphia's offensive firepower continues to be fueled by Kyle Schwarber's 36 home runs and Trea Turner's team-leading 125 hits, creating a daunting challenge for a White Sox team batting a dismal .227 collectively.
The pitching matchup heavily favors the visitors, with Sanchez particularly dominant on the road where he's posted a 2.17 ERA across 66.1 innings this season.
White Sox fans will look to Mike Tauchman for signs of life—he's homered in three of Chicago's last four games as underdogs against National League opponents—but Philadelphia's 10-1 record in their last 11 night games against struggling American League teams suggests the mountain may be too steep to climb.
