The Baltimore Orioles will travel to Chicago for a 4 game series against the White Sox this weekend. These teams are two of the worst teams in the league, but their series could serve as a spring board for one of the teams to bounce back from their slow start.
Both teams are in the basement of their respective divisions, and are long shots to win the World Series or a pennant in MLB lines.
Both actually looked good a short time ago, but over the last 10 games or so, they’ve really crashed. Both teams are 2-8 in their last 10 games and many of the teams in their divisions have picked it up while they have been down.
The Chicago White sox will be the home team in this game, but they have not played especially well in front of their home crowd this season. They are 4-6 at home to this point. Chicago really needs to find a way to take advantage of their home field and that could help them get through bad stretches like the one they’ve been in lately.
The Orioles have a number of veteran hitters that they hoped would bolster their lineup, but their lineup has been relatively impotent to this point. Only the Twins have scored fewer runs than the Orioles this season.
The White Sox need some help from their pitching staff. While their pitchers have shown flashes of solid play, they have been extremely inconsistent and they have allowed more runs than all but one team in the American League.
This should be a good series for both teams to try to turn things around.
