The Phillies Can Win If…
The Philadelphia Phillies recently played against the New York Yankees, losing 3-4. Otto Kemp stood out with two home runs and two RBIs. Despite the loss, the Phillies showed power with three home runs in the game.
The Phillies have a strong batting lineup, ranking 3rd in both batting average and on-base percentage. Their slugging percentage is 7th, showing they can hit for power. Kyle Schwarber leads the team with 36 home runs, ranking 4th in the league.
On the mound, Cristopher Sánchez will start for the Phillies. He has an impressive ERA of 2.40 and a record of 9-2. With a solid pitching performance, the Phillies have a good chance to win against the Chicago White Sox.
The White Sox Can Win If…
The Chicago White Sox are ready to turn things around after a close 5-4 loss to the Cubs. Andrew Benintendi was a standout, hitting two home runs and driving in four runs. The team showed power with two home runs and eight hits overall.
Key stats show the White Sox’s potential for success. They rank 10th in doubles with 170 this season. Their lineup includes hitters like Edgar Quero, who holds a .277 batting average, and Lenyn Sosa with a .264 average, both contributing to the team’s offensive depth.
Pitcher Davis Martin will be on the mound, aiming to improve his 3.89 ERA. He faces a tough opponent in Cristopher Sánchez, but Martin’s experience can be vital. The White Sox’s combination of hitting and pitching gives them a chance to secure a win against the Phillies.
Veterans Setting the Tone in the Phillies’ Lineup
Philadelphia manager Rob Thomson attributes much of his team’s success to the steady presence of his veteran hitters. With consecutive series wins already under their belt, the Phillies aim to continue their momentum as they visit the Chicago White Sox for a three-game set starting Monday.
Thomson pointed to the “keep up with the Joneses” mentality fueling the offense. That depth was on full display Sunday, even in a narrow 4-3 loss to the Yankees. Rookie Otto Kemp launched two home runs while Nick Castellanos added a solo shot after missing Saturday’s game with a knee issue.
Catcher J.T. Realmuto extended his hot streak with a sixth-inning single, giving him hits in 13 of his last 14 games—an important spark for a lineup that’s rounding into playoff form.

White Sox Stay Competitive Despite Defensive Issues
While the White Sox dropped their last two games, they’ve remained within striking distance in each. Andrew Benintendi did his part Sunday with two homers, including a three-run shot that narrowed the Yankees’ lead in the eighth. But three errors proved costly.
Manager Will Venable remains optimistic.
“This club’s in a good spot. We just have to keep it rolling,” he said.
After a 6-1 start post-All-Star break, the Sox will try to recapture that form with Davis Martin (2-8, 3.89 ERA) on the mound. Martin returned from a forearm injury last week and allowed four runs (three earned) across five innings at Tampa Bay. He admitted to mechanical issues, particularly over-rotating, which he and pitching coach Ethan Katz have addressed.
Sanchez Continues to Dominate on the Hill
The Phillies will counter with Cristopher Sanchez (9-2, 2.40 ERA), who is putting together one of the best months of his career. He’s 3-0 in July with a 1.19 ERA over 30 1/3 innings, and is coming off a dominant complete-game performance against Boston with 12 strikeouts and no walks.
Sanchez has gone at least six innings in nine consecutive starts, giving the Phillies much-needed length and reliability.

What to Watch For
Philadelphia’s edge lies in its starting pitching and timely power, while the White Sox are battling inconsistency and defensive lapses. With playoff implications tightening, both teams have something to prove.
