Baltimore Orioles at Chicago White Sox Preview & Picks

Baltimore are tipped to bounce back from being swept in St Louis.

The Orioles are coming up against a badly out-of-form pitcher in Mike Clevinger, and they are backed to take full advantage.

  • Toronto Blue Jays are 7-3 in the last 10 meetings
  • Chicago White Sox are 3-7 in their last 10 games
  • Chicago pitcher Mike Clevinger is 0-2 with a 5.56 ERA
  • The 2 starting pitchers have a combined ERA of 8.32

Head To Head

  • This is the first series between the two teams this season

Baltimore Orioles Form

Baltimore enter this series on a rough run of form, having now lost six ox their previous nine games.

The Orioles enjoyed a good run in early May as they won seven times during an eight-game spell – a sequence that included a win over the New York Yankees and a sweep of Cincinnati.

Their form dipped when they lost 9-2 to Arizona and 3-2 to Toronto, but they did respond by beating Toronto 3-2.

Baltimore then sandwiched a 4-3 defeat to Seattle with 9-2 and 6-3 wins over the Mariners, before heading back out on the road.

The Orioles travelled to St Louis for a three-game series, and having lost the series opener 6-3, they lost both halves of Wednesday's double-header, 3-1 and 5-4.

Chicago White Sox Form

Chicago come into this series with Baltimore on a bad run of form, having suffered defeat in seven of their last 10 games.

The White Sox enjoyed a hot streak earlier this month when they backed up a 4-1 win in Tampa with three consecutive home wins over Cleveland, beating the Guardians 3-2, 6-3 and 3-1.

They missed out on the series sweep as they lost the final meeting 7-0, but they did bounce back against Washington as they responded to a 6-3 defeat with 4-0 and 2-0 wins.

However, Chicago failed to keep that win sequence going when they visited New York, where they lost all three meetings with the Yankees, 4-2, 6-1 and 7-2.

The White Sox were then beaten 9-3 in the series opener in Toronto, and then failed to build on a 5-0 victory as they lost the final meeting, 9-2.

Verdict

Baltimore have a big advantage at starting pitcher for this one, so we are backing the Orioles to return to winning ways.
