Chicago White Sox Betting Preview
Going into last season, the Chicago White Sox were expected to contend for the AL Central title. To put it gently, they did not do that. The White Sox lost 101 games and only managed to avoid last place thanks to the ineptitude of the Kansas City Royals. This year, Chicago will aim to be better and get back into the division title discussion.
This is a team that made a lot of moves in the offseason to try and freshen up their roster. The problem is that those moves are not expected to mean much in terms of added wins. Chicago has one of the lowest season win totals in Major League Baseball this year and it will take a massive effort from the players they do have in order to exceed their low expectations.

Offseason Transactions
Key Additions: Michael Soroka, Paul DeJong, Martin Maldonado, Chris Flexen, Kevin Pillar
Key Departures: Tim Anderson, Mike Clevinger, Yasmani Grandal, Elvis Andrus, Jose Urena
Chicago needed to make a ton of changes in the offseason and they did just that. They did a nice job of adding to their lineup with players like DeJong, while the addition of Martin Maldonado gives them a catcher with championship experience. Losses like Anderson and Clevinger don’t hurt nearly as bad when you are coming off of a season as bad as the one the White Sox had last year.
Offensive Outlook
Only one team in the American League scored fewer runs than the Chicago White Sox in 2023. That team was the Oakland Athletics, who spent most of last year trying to get their fans to resent the franchise to soften the blow ahead of their upcoming move to Las Vegas. Chicago’s offense could struggle again this year, though the will hope the additions of DeJong and Maldonado can help them at the dish.
Pitching Outlook
Chicago also finished in the bottom-three in the American League in runs allowed last season, with only the Royals and Athletics allowing more. The addition of Flexen is interesting for the White Sox, though, as he was a serviceable starter in Seattle and could help this rotation to improve to some degree even if they have a long way to go to get to respectability.
Positives & Negatives
On a positive note for the White Sox, there is nowhere to go but up after last year’s disastrous campaign. They also added some new bats to their lineup, including a player who has won championships in his career previously. But the pitching staff for Chicago is a problem and their offense is still unlikely to do enough damage to make this team a serious contender in the AL Central.
Chicago White Sox Season Win Total Pick & Prediction: Under 63.5
We will take the under on the White Sox season win total of 63.5 games. While we typically look for reasons to take overs for teams that are generally considered to be bad, it is hard to justify doing so with Chicago. They had the second-worst run differential in the American League last season and they should continue to be one of the worst teams in baseball this year.
