Phillies Face White Sox in Chicago Showdown Tonight on CHSN & NBCS-PH
Tonight’s matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Chicago White Sox is shaping up to be a solid one for baseball fans — especially if you're following either team closely. It’s all happening at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago, with the first pitch set for 7:40 p.m. Eastern. If you’re planning to watch, the game will be aired on CHSN and NBC Sports Philadelphia.
For the Phillies, left-hander Jesús Luzardo will be taking the mound. He’s coming off a dominant stretch, and fans are excited to see if he can continue that momentum. Luzardo has been pitching deep into games lately — including a 106-pitch complete game not long ago. In fact, in each of his last four starts, he’s made it into at least the seventh inning, which has made him a reliable presence on the mound for Philly.
On the other side, the White Sox are handing the ball to Jonathan Cannon. While Cannon’s had some decent outings, right-handed batters have hit .288 against him this season — which isn’t a great sign when you consider the Phillies’ righty-heavy lineup. Names like Trea Turner, Nick Castellanos, and J.T. Realmuto have all been productive against righties, with each tallying over 70 hits in those matchups this year.

Now let’s talk offense. The Phillies are coming into this one with a 6-4 record over their last 10 games, averaging 5.7 runs per game. Power-wise, Kyle Schwarber leads the charge with 36 home runs and 84 RBIs so far this season — that’s top-five in all of MLB. Castellanos is riding a five-game hit streak, and Bryce Harper continues to be a steady contributor at the plate.
The White Sox aren’t lagging far behind offensively, also sitting at 6-4 over their last 10, but averaging an even stronger 7.1 runs per game. Andrew Benintendi leads the team with 13 homers and 42 RBIs, while Luis Robert and Chase Meidroth have also been contributing regularly.
As far as predictions go, the odds-makers are giving the Phillies a slight edge with a 52% win probability, and a projected final score of 5–4 in favor of Philly. The total runs line is set at over 8.5, so fans could be in for a high-scoring affair.
If you’re into betting, some analysts are eyeing the Phillies' run line at -135 — especially considering that 10 of Luzardo’s 15 wins this year have come by at least two runs. There’s also value in looking at Sanchez’s prop bets, particularly the over on 18.5 outs, since he’s been consistently pitching deep into games.
So whether you're tuning in for the love of the game or looking for some smart betting angles, tonight’s Phillies vs. White Sox matchup should be a fun one to follow.
