Chicago White Sox Betting Preview
The Chicago White Sox finished in first place in the AL Central a season ago, which put them in the postseason. There, they fell against the Houston Astros in the first round, with the Astros making the World Series shortly after. This season, the White Sox will look for a better performance in the postseason as they hope to build on a season where they put up a gaudy run differential.

Key Additions: Kendall Graveman
Key Departures: Carlos Rodón, César Hernández, Ryan Tepera
The White Sox lost more talent than they brought in at the end of 2021 MLB season, but they are still in a decent place coming into this year. Losing Carlos Rodon is a big loss for the starting rotation, while the loss of Ryan Tepera out of the bullpen is also set to be impactful in a negative way. But this team should have multiple players healthy that were not healthy for all of last season, and should still be in good shape despite those significant losses.
Offensive Stats
| 2021 (Rank) | 2020 (Rank) | |
|---|---|---|
| Batting Average (BA) | .256 (5th) | .261 (6th) |
| On-Base Percentage (OBP) | .336 (3rd) | .326 (12th) |
| Slugging Percentage (SLG) | .422 (10th) | .453 (5th) |

| Batting Avg on Balls In Play (BABIP) | .310 (1st) | .314 (5th) |

| Walk Percentage (BB%) | 9.6% (T-4th) | 7.9% (24th) |
Offensively, the White Sox were absolutely explosive last year, helping them to get close to the 100-win mark. This year, they should be just as good offensively, and can expect more games out of Eloy Jimenez during the 2022 campaign. This was an area that was not in need of improvement, and the White Sox should be in a decent spot at the plate as a result of their willingness to stand pat.
Pitching Stats
| 2021 (Rank) | 2020 (Rank) | |
|---|---|---|
| Earned Run Average (ERA) | 3.73 (5th) | 3.81 (6th) |
| Fielding Independent Pitching (FIP) | 3.74 (4th) | 4.32 (10th) |
| Adj. Fielding Independent Pitching (xFIP) | 3.85 (3rd) | 4.36 (12th) |
| Strikeout Percentage (K%) | 27.1% (1st) | 23.4% (14th) |
| Walk Percentage (BB%) | 8.3% (10th) | 9.7% (21st) |
| Left On Base Percentage (LOB%) | 74.4% (T-6th) | 75.1% (6th) |
The pitching side of things is where the White Sox might take a big step back this season. Losing a quality starter and reliever will hurt Chicago in two different facets of the game, which will make life difficult on the American League representatives of Chicago. They have the depth to not completely fall apart from a pitching standpoint, but a step backward could cost them in their playoff aspirations.
Positives & Negatives
The major positive for the White Sox this season is the fact that they are going to be elite offensively once again. That is going to be their bread and butter, even though some pitching regression in the rotation and bullpen is the negative looming over this ballclub. The positives appear to outweigh the negatives for this team, though, as they are expected to win the AL Central once again.
Chicago White Sox Pick & Prediction: Over 91.5
The White Sox should be just fine this season despite some questions about their pitching, and they should go over their season win total once again. In a division full of flawed competitors, the White Sox are the class of the bunch, and bettors should take the over for the Chicagoans in 2022.
