Chicago White Sox
The Chicago White Sox are experiencing a challenging season, but are hopeful that recent acquisitions, such as Aaron Civale, can help improve their performance. Civale, who was traded from the Brewers after a rough start, has struggled with a high expected opponent Slugging Percentage and hard contact from opponents. Despite this, the team has also been let down by their lineup, scoring only an average of 3.47 runs per game and struggling to drive in runs in recent games. While players like Mike Tauchman and Miguel Vargas have shown solid performances, the rest of the lineup has struggled, resulting in a low OPS+ for most batters. With a power ranking of 13, the White Sox are currently ranked 27th in offense, 19th in defense, and have a 23-48 record for the season.
