Phillies vs White Sox: It took a little while, but the Phillies are finally firing on all cylinders. After sweeping the Colorado Rockies and finding some form offensively, the Phils now play host to the Chicago White Sox and carry hopes of back-to-back series sweeps. That all starts with a win in tonight’s game, but will they be able to bring it home?

Phillies vs White Sox: Pitching preview
Spencer Turnbull (1-0, 1.85 ERA) vs Garrett Crochet (0-0, 3.57 ERA)
Spencer Turnbull takes the mound for the Phillies in tonight’s game. He’s registered a 6.52 ERA through 9.1 innings in games against Chicago (as a Tiger) but is off to a much better start in Philly. Prior to a wobble against the Pirates, Turnbull had only allowed 1 run through 11 innings of 2024, striking out 13 in the process. He’ll be looking to build on that against a Chicago side batting just .196 to start the year.
Across from Turnbull will be Garrett Crochet, who has allowed 9 runs through 22 innings to start this season. He’s been dinged for 3+ hits in each of his appearances thus far, but has been a strikeout machine and has an impressive 3.57 ERA. He’ll need to bring his best stuff to silence a surging Philly offense.
Phillies vs White Sox: Betting preview
The Phillies are beginning to ignite offensively and that’s bad news for a White Sox side ranking 23rd in ERA up to this point. A sweep against the Rockies will have given the Phils a real boost coming into this series, and they are of course still playing at home which should also play into their favor. It’s hard to fade a resurgent Phillies team against a struggling Chicago group that has only won 3 out of 18 games, and is 1-6 on the road this season.
Nick Castellanos could be an ideal candidate to bet behind tonight in terms of prop betting. He hasn’t recorded a hit in 3 games but a struggling White Sox Bullpen might change that. He’s priced at -190 to record a hit, and +450 for a home run.
Betting pick: Phillies -1.5 (+120)
