Game Snapshot

• Matchup: Chicago White Sox vs Tampa Bay Rays
• Date & Time: Wednesday, July 23, 2025, 7:35 PM ET
• Starting Pitchers: Jonathan Cannon (White Sox) vs Taj Bradley (Rays)
• Stadium: George M. Steinbrenner Field, Tampa, FL
• Broadcast: FDSN-SUN

Key Storylines

• Pitching Form: Jonathan Cannon is 4-7 and has a 4.18 ERA. He aims to build on his recent strong outing against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Cannon allowed one run over seven innings in that game. Taj Bradley is 6-6 with a 4.35 ERA. He threw six shutout innings against the Baltimore Orioles in his last start.
• Bullpen Usage: The Rays bullpen bounced back nicely on Tuesday after struggling to get White Sox hitters out on Monday night. How the Rays perform in relief in this game will be a big factor in determining the game’s outcome.
• Recent Team Streaks: The Rays have lost two of their last three games going into this one. The White Sox had a winning streak snapped with last night’s loss.

White Sox vs Rays Model Projection

• Score Projection: White Sox 3 – Rays 5
• Win Probability: White Sox 35%, Rays 65%

Final Thoughts

There is not much value in betting on the Rays to win this game on the moneyline. But I will lay the runline with the Rays in this game instead. Tampa’s offense has not been all that impressive in this series so far. That should change in this game and I expect Bradley to pitch well for them to help them create separation in the first five innings or so.
