Prediction and Conclusion
The Miami Marlins are struggling all season long, and the current five-game losing streak does not help them. They lost the last game in the series to the Red Sox in the 12th inning and could not recover for the opener against the White Sox. Miami will start Yonny Chirinos today, who is 0-0 for the season with a 3.77 ERA, 15 K, 14.1 IP, and 1.67 WHIP. On the other side, the White Sox will go with their best pitcher, Garrett Crochet, who is 6-6 for the season with a 3.02 ERA, 141 K, 101.1 IP, and 0.93 WHIP. With Crochet on the mound, the White Sox will take advantage of Miami’s poor form once again and win the second game of the series.
