In many ways the Orioles and White Sox feel like teams heading in different directions—and not in the way you might have assumed at the beginning of the season. Baltimore’s beloved Birds are surrounded by a sense of renewed hope. They reached 30 wins in 2022 in game 68. In 2021 it took them until game 92. While it is certainly not the last corner they will have to turn, it’s undeniable that this Orioles team has turned a corner in their rebuild.
The White Sox, on the other hand, cannot seem to find their corner, let alone turn around it.
