Preview: Orioles at White Sox, Tuesday, April 7, 2026

CHICAGO (Interstat) — The Baltimore Orioles look to build on a narrow series-opening victory when they face the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday afternoon at Guaranteed Rate Field.

Baltimore (3-6) edged Chicago (4-5) 2-1 on Monday, seeking to halt a three-game skid after being swept in Pittsburgh over the weekend. The White Sox, coming off a shutout win over Toronto, aim to even the series.

The pitching matchup features divergent early-season trends. The Orioles are expected to start left-hander Trevor Rogers (2-0), while the White Sox counter with right-hander Davis Martin.

Martin has been a bright spot for Chicago, coming off a dominant performance. On April 5, he tossed six scoreless innings, allowing four hits and striking out six in a 3-0 win over the Blue Jays. In his prior start on March 30, he earned a victory against Miami, going five innings.

Baltimore’s Shane Smith (0-2) will be tasked with slowing a White Sox lineup that has shown recent potency. Smith seeks his first win after two difficult outings.

A player to watch for Baltimore is left-hander Cade Povich, who delivered a quality start in a losing effort on April 5 in Pittsburgh. Povich allowed two earned runs over 5 2/3 innings.

Despite their losing record, the Orioles are installed as a slight pregame favorite with a spread of -1.5. The over/under is set at 7 runs. Projections present a split view: Interstat’s game simulator predicts a 7-2 White Sox victory, while its ELO system gives Baltimore a 55.9% probability to win.

First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. CDT under cloudy skies with a game-time temperature near 50 degrees.

Following Tuesday’s contest, the series concludes Wednesday afternoon before both clubs embark on new series. The Orioles will host San Francisco starting Friday, while the White Sox begin a four-game set in Kansas City on Thursday.
