Three Bold White Sox Predictions For The Second Half Of The Season

The 2022 MLB All-Star Game is behind us. The second half of the regular season is underway. There are two weeks until the trade deadline. Over the next 12 weeks, the contenders and pretenders will be revealed.

The White Sox are coming out of the All-Star break at 46-46. They are 7-3 in their last 10 games. The team is returning to full strength. Yasmani Grandal is expected to be back for the Cleveland series. Dylan Cease threw a gem against the Minnesota Twins. The White Sells have the most manageable remaining schedule in baseball. If they go 44-26, they will reach the 90 win mark. It is time they capitalize on it. For the second half of this season, the WhiteSox need to finish at least 10 wins above .500.

Dylan Cease has the most strikeouts in the MLB and is the fastest White Sox pitcher to reach 500 career strikeouts. He has allowed just three earned runs and 34 hits in his last 12 starts.

Dylan Cease, Dwight Gooden, Vida Blue, Luis Tiant and Walter Johnson are predicted to play for the White Sox in 2022.

Dylan Cease has a 2.15 ERA this season. His next four starts will be against the Cleveland Guardians, Oakland Athletics, Texas Rangers, and Detroit Tigers. Shane McClanahan plays in the tough American League East. The Rays have three series against Boston Red Sox, two against New York Yankees, 2 against Houston Astros, 1 against Toronto Blue Jays.

The White Sox have a good starting rotation. Lance Lynn's ERA is high, but he's getting better. He's also returning from knee surgery. He was a finalist for AL Cy Young last season. The rest during the All-Star break should help him. His fastball spin rate and walk rate are in the top 15th percentile in baseball. Lucas Giolito has looked better of late and owns a 4.69 ERA. Johnny Cueto owns 2.80 ERA and is arguably the MVP of the White Sox. Michael Kopech has a 3.36 ERA despite some symptoms of dead arm.
