Orioles Look to Paint Chicago Orange Against White Sox

The Baltimore Orioles are set to face the Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field on May 24, 2024, at 7:40 PM ET. The game will be broadcast on Apple TV+. As the Orioles prepare for this matchup, their recent performance provides a mixed bag of insights.

In their last three games against the St. Louis Cardinals, the Orioles have shown both resilience and areas needing improvement. Offensively, they have struggled with consistency. In one game, they managed only three hits and one run over nine innings. Their batting average in that game was a mere .100 with an on-base percentage of .156 and a slugging percentage of .167. This indicates that while they can get runners on base occasionally, converting those opportunities into runs has been challenging.


Pitching has been more promising for Baltimore. In their most recent outing against St. Louis, starting pitcher Cole Irvin showcased his skills with an impressive ERA of 2.764 over his last few starts this season. The bullpen also held its ground effectively in several instances despite some hiccups.

Fielding has been solid overall; the team committed no errors in two out of their last three games against the Cardinals and maintained a fielding percentage close to perfect.


Guaranteed Rate Field could play a significant role in this upcoming contest as it is known for being hitter-friendly due to its dimensions and wind patterns favoring batters more than pitchers at times.

Fans can expect an intriguing battle as Baltimore aims to capitalize on any offensive struggles from Chicago while relying heavily on their pitching staff's current form to keep them competitive throughout the game.
