The Chicago White Sox possess the worst record in the majors as they head out on a six-game road trip. The first three games will be against the Athletics, beginning Friday night in West Sacramento, Calif. Chicago has won just six of 19 games this season and has dropped eight of its past 10. The trip will conclude with three games against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix. The White Sox were outscored 21-11 while being swept in a three-game home set by the Tampa Bay Rays, ending with Thursday’s 5-3 setback. “We haven’t had a ton to show for it, but hitting the ball hard,” White Sox manager Will Venable said after the latest loss. “Too much on the ground

Friday’s Bundesliga Matchday 30 opener is a real pressure game. Cologne travel to Millerntor-Stadion to face St. Pauli with the visitors sitting 13th on 30 points and the hosts 16th on 25, which means St. Pauli are starting the round in the relegation playoff spot and Cologne can create real breathing room with a result. Kickoff is set for Friday, April 17, at Millerntor-Stadion in Hamburg. The recent form leans toward Cologne.

Cagliari arrive in 16th place, still needing points to keep the bottom three at arm’s length and avoid a nervous finish. That creates a pretty clean motivation split. Internazionale are pushing to close out the Scudetto without letting the door reopen for Napoli, while Cagliari are chasing safety and trying to turn every point into

Como head to MAPEI Stadium – Città del Tricolore on Friday for a Serie A Matchday 33 spot that matters far more to the visitors than the hosts. Kickoff is set for 16:30 UTC in Reggio Emilia. Como come in fifth on 58 points, just two behind Juventus for the last Champions League place, while Sassuolo sit 11th on 42 and are playing more for placement than real pressure at either end of the table. That context matters. Como are chasing a major finish and just went toe to toe with Inter in a wild 4-3 loss after leading 2-0, so the level is there even if the result was painful. Sassuolo, meanwhile, are coming off a 2-1 loss at
