After suffering through a drama-filled Spring Training, the Chicago White Sox have raised a lot of eyebrows to start the 2016 MLB campaign. The Chi Sox will look to continue their hot start against the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday.
White Sox left-hander Mat Latos has been sensational despite coming off injury-plagued seasons. Latos is a perfect 4-0 with a 0.74 ERA while pitching at least six innings for the fourth time in as many starts in his last time out. Kevin Gausman (0-1, 1.80 ERA) is set to counter for the O’s.
Gausman finally made his season debut at Tampa Bay on Monday due to a bout with tendinitis in his right shoulder. The former No. 4 overall draft pick struck out seven while allowing just one run and three hits in a 2-0 loss.
