The Chicago White Sox (44-80) travel to Truist Park on Tuesday night to face the Atlanta Braves (56-68) in what shapes up as a battle between two teams fighting to salvage something from disappointing seasons.
Chicago's struggling offense, averaging just 3.8 runs per game and ranking 29th in the league, faces an uphill task against Bryce Elder and the Braves' improved home form.

Atlanta Braves vs. Chicago White Sox preview
The White Sox roll into Truist Park carrying the weight of a brutal 44-80 record, making this matchup feel more like a reprieve than a rivalry for Atlanta supporters.
Chicago's offense has been anemic all season, managing just 3.8 runs per game while striking out over 1,000 times, though they've shown occasional power with 120 home runs.
Shane Smith takes the ball for the visitors with a pedestrian 4.01 ERA, while Bryce Elder counters for the Braves despite his own struggles at 4.65 ERA over his career.
Atlanta enters at 56-68, hardly inspiring but significantly better than their opponents, with a more balanced attack that produces 4.32 runs per contest.
The Braves' bullpen has been shaky with just a 59% save rate, but they won't need perfection against a White Sox lineup that's hitting .229 as a team.
This Tuesday night affair shapes up as a chance for Atlanta to build momentum against one of baseball's most struggling franchises.
