The streak is gone. Mike Baumann is gone to Seattle. John Means is gone to the IL. There’s a lot going on in Birdland right now, and most of it isn’t good. Which means it’s the perfect time for a get-right series against the lowly Chicago White Sox.
The Southsiders have been the MLB’s punching bag for much of 2024, as they come into this matchup with a 15-35 record and a -107 run differential. The ChiSox have been a much better in the friendly confines of Guaranteed Rate Field, as 10 of their 15 wins have come at home.
