White Sox Need Some Slugging
The Chicago White Sox were able to get enough swings of the bat on Saturday night, but they just haven’t been consistent enough. Manager Tony La Russa said after the last win, “We put the ball in play, guys were aggressive running the bases and then we had a couple big swings,” and this team needs more of that.
Chicago has really struggled on offense, and it has belted just 61 home runs as a team. Jose Abreu leads the way with just nine home runs, and Luis Robert has driven in 38 runs to lead the team.
Lucas Giolito is set to take the mound on Sunday, and he has gone 4-4 with a 5.19 ERA. Despite the slow start, Giolito has the tools to be one of the best pitchers in baseball.
Giants Getting Some Pitching
The San Francisco Giants have not been as dominant as they were in 2021, but the pitching staff continues to perform. San Francisco has a team ERA of just 3.93 this season, and they have allowed just six total runs in this series, despite losing two games.
John Brebbia is set to make the start, and he has gone 3-1 with a 2.70 ERA. San Francisco just has to find a way to get more offense to back up the terrific starting pitching.
Joc Pederson has been terrific in his first season with the Giants as he leads the team with 17 home runs this season. San Francisco has some holes in their everyday lineup, but they should be good enough to win some games.
