◆ Matchup preview

Houston Astros at Chicago White Sox (2026-07-24). Spencer Arrighetti vs Davis Martin at Rate Field.

Starters — Arrighetti has a 4.34 ERA and 1.31 WHIP across 87 innings, with 9.0 K/9, 4.97 BB/9, and 1.24 HR/9. His last three starts were uneven: 5 innings and 1 earned run with 6 strikeouts and 4 walks on July 18, 4 innings and 8 earned runs with 2 strikeouts and 6 walks on July 8, and 6 innings and 1 earned run with 4 strikeouts and 1 walk on July 3. The strikeout rate is solid, but the walk rate remains a clear pressure point, and the current trend is down. Martin brings a 3.31 ERA and 1.27 WHIP over 106 innings, with 8.24 K/9, 2.8 BB/9, and an excellent 0.51 HR/9. His last three starts were 5.2 innings and 1 earned run with 5 strikeouts and 2 walks on July 18, 4 innings and 5 earned runs with 2 strikeouts and 2 walks on July 8, and 3.1 innings and 2 earned runs with no strikeouts and 5 walks on July 2. The profile is built more on command and contact management than overpowering stuff, and the trend is up.

Teams — Houston enters with a .728 OPS, 473 runs scored, and a .242 team average. The Astros’ pitching staff has a 4.71 ERA and 1.39 WHIP, and they are 4-6 over their last 10 games. Chicago has a .727 OPS, 483 runs scored, and a .240 team average. The White Sox have been better on the mound overall, posting a 4.08 team ERA and 1.31 WHIP, and they are 7-3 in their last 10. The offensive gap is minimal by OPS, but Chicago has produced slightly more runs and paired that with stronger staff-level run prevention.
