Chicago White Sox vs. Baltimore Orioles preview
The Orioles arrive in Chicago sitting at 69-80, a disappointing campaign for a franchise that's struggled to find consistency in 2025, while the White Sox at 57-93 are having an even rougher go of it at Rate Field.
Tyler Wells takes the mound for Baltimore with a 4.01 ERA across 305 career innings, facing off against Chicago's Shane Smith, who's posted a solid 3.78 ERA in limited action this season.
Both offenses have been anemic, with Baltimore averaging just 4.3 runs per game (22nd in MLB) and the White Sox even worse at 4.0 runs per contest, ranking 26th in the majors.
The pitching matchup favors the visitors slightly, as Wells has shown better durability with 281 career strikeouts, while Smith's 122 K's in 131 frames suggest promising stuff in smaller doses.
Chicago's bullpen has been particularly unreliable with just a 52.3% save rate, ranking 29th in the league, which could prove costly in what projects to be a low-scoring affair.
With both teams essentially playing out the string, this Tuesday night contest becomes more about individual performances and building momentum heading into the offseason.
