The Philadelphia Phillies and Chicago White Sox meet Wednesday in MLB action at Guaranteed Rate Field. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.
The Philadelphia Phillies have scored 21 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 6 of their last 10 games. The Phillies are 6-3 this season when scoring 4 or more runs. Bryson Stott leads the Phillies with 29 hits and 6 RBI, while Alec Bohm and Trea Turner have combined for 46 hits and 20 RBI. Taijuan Walker gets the ball, and he is 1-1 with a 4.20 ERA and 14 strikeouts this season. Walker is 2-2 with a 3.86 ERA and 16 strikeouts in his career against the White Sox.
The Chicago White Sox have scored 11 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 5 of their last 10 games. The White Sox are 5-5 this season when scoring 4 or more runs. Luis Robert Jr. leads the White Sox with 19 hits and 13 RBI, while Andrew Benintendi and Andrew Vaughn have combined for 34 hits and 16 RBI. Mike Clevinger gets the ball, and he is 2-0 with a 2.20 ERA and 14 strikeouts this season. This will be Clevinger’s second career game against the Phillies.
The Phillies are 4-9 in their last 13 road games and 6-13 in their last 19 overall. The White Sox are 1-4 in their last 5 home games and 1-5 in their last 6 overall. The over is 4-0 in Phillies last 4 overall. The over is 3-0-1 in White Sox last 4 overall. The Phillies are 10-4 in the last 14 meetings.
We’re getting the slightly cheaper price with the Chicago White Sox at home and Mike Clevinger on the mound, who has been terrific in his first few starts. Taijuan Walker has been hit or miss and the Phillies have been underachieving as a whole up to this point. I’ll gladly take the White Sox at this price.
