Washington Nationals vs Chicago White Sox Betting Preview

On May 14, 2024, the Chicago White Sox will take on the Washington Nationals in a matchup at Guaranteed Rate Field that is the second game of their interleague doubleheader. The White Sox, with a record of 12-29, are having a tough season, while the Nationals hold an average record of 19-20.

The White Sox, being the home team, will send Erick Fedde to the mound for the second game of this doubleheader. Fedde is off to a strong start to his 2024 season, entering this game with a record of 3-0 with an ERA of 3.00.

Meanwhile, the Nationals will send Mitchell Parker to the hill for this matchup on Tuesday evening. Parker is also off to a decent start to his season, posting a record of 2-1 and an ERA of 2.67 for a Nationals team that needs all the help it can get in the pitching department.

In their previous games, the White Sox lost to the Guardians with a score of 7-0, while the Nationals suffered a narrow 3-2 defeat against the Red Sox.

A huge key to this game from a betting perspective will be how the first game of this doubleheader plays out. How aggressive each team is in this contest will depend largely on whether or not they win the first game of the doubleheader, as we could see some key players sit out of this second game to avoid overextending them from a workload perspective. Either way, we are in for a competitive matchup here, as the odds suggest this game could go in either direction.

Quick Takes Washington Nationals:

Going into this game, the Nationals are in third-place in the NL East, an improvement from last season's last place finish. The Nats are 12-10 on the road for the season, performing better on the road than they have at home to this point in the year.

Quick Takes Chicago White Sox:

The Chicago White Sox are tied with the Miami Marlins for the worst run differential in all of baseball heading into Tuesday's play at -90. Since they are playing two games on Tuesday, the White Sox have the potential to take sole possession of that dubious distinction when today's play is in the books.
