Chicago White Sox vs. Oakland Athletics
Tuesday, August 06, 2024 – 09:40 PM ET at Oakland Coliseum
Our AI Model suggests Oakland Athletics will add a 5.3-3.6 win over the Chicago White Sox. That makes sense, especially since the White Sox have lost 20 consecutive games heading into tonight’s showdown.
Jonathan Cannon’s Struggles Against Righties
The White Sox have already lost 20 consecutive games. Tonight, they’ll throw Jonathan Cannon, who has had some of the weirdest splits.
The right-hander has dominated lefties, yet righties have hit a .378 wOBA with just 12.9% of strikeouts. In the Oakland lineup, the Athletics figure to have more righties than lefties. That’s certainly not good news for Cannon.
Trust The Veteran
The Athletics will run it back with Ross Stripling. He’s not going to overpower anyone. In fact, he’s struck out only 6.5% of batters over the last 30 days.
However, he’s still held his last 46 hitters to a .098 ISO and wOBA of .272. That’ll do the trick, with Chicago’s lineup hitting a .106 ISO and wOBA of .241 against righties over the last month.
The Pick
Let’s take Oakland to hand the White Sox their 21st consecutive loss.
