White Sox vs Orioles Picks and Prediction – 9/4/2024

Beautiful Camden Yards will play host to a Wednesday evening MLB battle between the Chicago White Sox and the Baltimore Orioles. Be ready for the baseball season with all of our MLB predictions. The White Sox (31-109) are in the midst of a 12-game losing streak and own the worst overall record in the majors. Last night, Chicago SP Nick Nastrini (0-7) gave up four runs and recorded just five outs during an ugly 9-0 road loss against Baltimore. 

Rookie right-hander Jonathan Cannon (2-9 4.70 ERA) will make his 17th career major league start. The White Sox have lost Cannon’s last four outings and he has surrendered 17 runs across his last 19 plus frames. 

The Baltimore Orioles have won three straight games and are tied with New York for the top spot in the AL East Division. On Tuesday, All-Star SS Gunnar Henderson reached base three times and scored three runs to spark the Baltimore offense. SP Cade Povich (2-7) fanned ten batters across seven plus innings to earn the win for the Orioles (81-59), who improved to 41-30 at home. 

Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde will turn to thirty-four year old righty Albert Suarez (7-4 3.14 ERA) on Wednesday. The Orioles have won Suarez’s previous three starts and he has allowed four runs over his last 18 plus innings. 

Baltimore 1B Ryan Mountcastle (wrist) has yet to resume swinging a bat and his timetable to return is not certain. Through 140 games, Chicago ranks 30th in OPS and 30th in runs scored. For the season, Baltimore ranks 4th in OPS and 3rd in runs scored. Take the under. Final Score Prediction, Baltimore Orioles win 5-2.
