Have you ever played a game of cards where you hand absolutely stinks, but you know you’re likely to take at least one trick because you’ve got one great card in your hand? Well, the Chicago White Sox are baseball’s version of that experience, and Garrett Crochet is their ace.
After another impressive performance tonight against an unimpressive Red Sox lineup, Crochet’s held opponents to two or fewer runs in eight straight games. Despite the dominance though, the team is just 6-8 in his starts, because if you keep things close, the 2024 White Sox often find ways to lose.
