The White Sox have the fewest runs scored and the most runs allowed, which leads to a historically bad record. But their pitching, both starters and relievers, was pretty good. Their offense was pretty bad, lots of guys in .500s and .600s in OPS, no one above .800. The Padres never really got it going on offense but their pitching, with a few too many HRs, held it together.
Might have been closer than we'd have liked, but the Sox were incentivized to play harder than they have been all season. 3 W's is all that matters, and the NLW crown not being out of reach the final week of the season is all you can ask for. Who knows what happens when the Dodgers enter the Twilight Zone that is Coors, and the Padres are forcing them to play hard all the way to the end.
Again great article. I really enjoy them 😁 Correction for last paragraph should read "They will face the Dodgers in Los Angeles Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday." 👍
