Houston Astros at Chicago White Sox (2026-07-25). Hunter Brown vs Sean Burke at Rate Field.
Starters — Hunter Brown has a 4.05 ERA and 1.45 WHIP across 40.0 innings, with 9.68 K/9, 6.3 BB/9, and 1.13 HR/9. His last three starts were uneven: 4.2 innings and 4 earned runs with 6 walks on July 19, 6 innings and 3 earned runs with 5 walks on July 10, and 4 innings and 6 earned runs with 4 walks on July 4. The strikeout rate is solid, but the walk rate remains the key issue, and his recent trend is flat. Sean Burke enters with a 3.20 ERA and 1.13 WHIP over 112.1 innings, posting 9.61 K/9, 2.72 BB/9, and 1.04 HR/9. His last three starts have been excellent: 6.2 scoreless innings on July 19, 7 innings with 1 earned run on July 10, and 6 innings with 1 earned run on July 4, while piling up 25 strikeouts against 1 walk in that span. His recent trend is down, reflecting improving run prevention.
Teams — Houston carries a .730 OPS, 482 runs scored, and a .243 team average. The Astros are 5-5 over their last 10 games, and their pitching staff has a 4.71 ERA with a 1.39 WHIP, which suggests more pressure on the offense if Brown’s command wobbles early. Chicago has a .726 OPS, 488 runs scored, and a .240 team average. The White Sox are 7-3 in their last 10 games, and their staff owns a 4.13 ERA with a 1.31 WHIP, giving them the steadier overall run-prevention profile coming into this matchup.
