@

Chicago White Sox

On June 19, 2025, the Chicago White Sox will host the St. Louis Cardinals in the first game of a double-header at Guaranteed Rate Field. This matchup follows a lopsided affair yesterday, where the Cardinals defeated the White Sox 12-2, further highlighting the struggles of Chicago this season. With a record of 23-50, the White Sox are having a dismal year, while the Cardinals sit at a respectable 38-35, showcasing a solid performance.

Adrian Houser is projected to take the mound for the White Sox. His last outing on June 13 was uneventful, as he pitched 5 innings allowing 3 earned runs. In contrast, the Cardinals will start Erick Fedde, who has had a mixed season with a 3-6 record and a solid ERA of 3.65. However, his 4.92 xFIP suggests he may be due for a regression.

Offensively, the White Sox rank 30th in MLB in both team batting average and overall offensive production, while their bullpen is also rated 30th, indicating significant struggles on both fronts. The projections foresee the White Sox scoring a low 3.73 runs today, reflecting their current offensive woes.

The Cardinals, on the other hand, boast the 3rd best batting average in MLB, with a strong performance from their best hitter, who has racked up 45 RBIs this season. The Cardinals are projected to score 4.27 runs, and with their recent form, they appear to be the stronger team heading into this matchup.

St. Louis Cardinals Insights

• Erick Fedde – Over/Under Strikeouts
  It may come as a surprise, but fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Erick Fedde has relied on his secondary offerings 8% less often this season (60.9%) than he did last year (68.9%).
  Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so a pitcher who begins to use his fastball more often will likely be less effective than he used to be.

Chicago White Sox Insights

• Adrian Houser – Over/Under Strikeouts
  Adrian Houser’s 93.3-mph velocity on his fastball this year is a sizeable 1.2-mph increase from last year’s 92.1-mph mark.
  Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs, so a pitcher who improves his velocity will likely see improved results.
