Orioles-White Sox series preview: Embrace meaningless September baseball

There’s nothing quite like a mid-September matchup between a 42-104 team and a 57-89 team to really set off some sparks. The baseball world will be shaking in this weekend series between the Orioles and the White Sox. Or maybe not so much.

For the White Sox, the quest for the remainder of the season will be to avoid hitting 100 losses. They’re currently on pace to lose 99, which is four games worse than they managed last year. A bad series would put them on track to hit that century mark. Somewhat fortunately for the White Sox, three of their remaining games will be played against a team that has already lost more than 100.
