Recap: Chicago White Sox VS Baltimore Orioles 2025-05-30
"The Birds are flying high, folks. The Baltimore Orioles took down the Chicago White Sox 4-2 on Saturday, and it was a real hoot. Jackson Holliday led off the game with a bang, literally, hitting his first career leadoff homer. And Jorge Mateo joined the party with his first homer of the season, because who doesn't love a good slugfest?
Dean Kremer was the real MVP, though, allowing only one run in six innings to earn his second consecutive win. And Félix Bautista shut the door in the ninth, earning his 10th save in 11 tries. The White Sox, on the other hand, are struggling to find their footing, falling to 6-25 on the road and a season-high 22 games under .500. Ouch.
As we look ahead to Sunday's matchup, the Orioles are favored to win at -170, while the White Sox are underdogs at +143. But don't count out the Sox just yet - they've won 31.6% of their games as underdogs this season. And with Charlie Morton taking the mound for Baltimore, and Adrian Houser counter-pitching for Chicago, it's anyone's game. Just don't tell the Orioles they're favorites - they've only won 33.3% of their games in that situation. Yikes. Ryan O'Hearn and Miguel Vargas are the players to watch, with O'Hearn leading the Orioles in batting average (.335) and Vargas crushing it with eight home runs for the White Sox. It's gonna be a wild ride, folks. Buckle up."
