Game Thread: Mets (58-70) at White Sox (66-61)

South Siders look to build on slim division lead against the Metropolitans tonight

Game Thread: Mets (58-70) at White Sox (66-61)

The Mets and White Sox face off in a game thread as the 2023 season progresses. The Mets, currently sitting at 58-70, are attempting to climb out of their division title fight while the White Sox, at 66-61, are dealing with a losing record. Despite the odds, both teams have proven they can perform well, with the Mets winning 11 of their last 15 games and the White Sox managing to win at least one game out of three against the Chicago Cubs, before a recent no-hit performance against the Atlanta Braves.

Starting pitcher Sean Manea will take the mound for the Mets, a pitcher who has been solid at limiting runs recently. However, the Mets' offensive struggles remain a concern as they are yet to score consistently. Meanwhile, the White Sox will be banking on ace Sean Burke, who has maintained an ERA just above 4.00 despite a recent struggle in June. Burke's ability to mix multiple pitches effectively makes him a tough opponent to face.

The game is scheduled to start at 6:40 p.m. CDT and will be broadcast on CHSN and heard on ESPN Chicago 1000. Fans are encouraged to share their predictions and thoughts in the comments section.
