The Chicago White Sox, currently sitting at a 7-13 record and looking like they'd rather be anywhere else, are heading to Sutter Health Park in Sacramento, California, to tangle with the Athletics, who are 10-10 and seemingly having a far better April. The 4:05 PM matchup will be broadcast on MLB.TV, because who doesn't love watching baseball on TV when you could be watching paint dry? The White Sox will send struggling lefty Noah Schultz (0-1, 6.23 ERA) to the mound, where he'll try not to get lit up by the Athletics' bats, which are hitting a respectable .230.
The White Sox are limping along with a team batting average of .206, and they'll need to figure out Jeffrey Springs (3-0, 1.46 ERA) if they hope to leave Sacramento with a W. The A's ace has been dealing, with a 0.77 WHIP and 24.2 innings pitched without allowing more than a run. Meanwhile, the South Siders are dealing with their own set of problems, including Chris Murphy on the 15-Day IL and Austin Hays on the 10-Day IL - yeah, it's been a blast in Chicago. Make your pick or join the discussion on StreakChat to see if the White Sox can right their ship or if the A's will keep on rolling.
