Preview: White Sox, Athletics Continue Series in Sacramento WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Interstat) — The Chicago White Sox and Oakland Athletics continue their three-game series Saturday evening at Sutter Health Park, with both teams sending winless starters to the mound. The White Sox (6-13) will give the ball to right-hander Erick Fedde (0-3), while the Athletics (10-9) counter with right-hander Luis Severino (0-2). First pitch is scheduled for 6:07 p.m. PDT under cloudy skies with temperatures around 70 degrees. Chicago arrives having lost four straight and eight of its last 10, including a 5-3 loss to Tampa Bay on Thursday and a series-opening 1-0 defeat to Oakland on Friday. The Athletics snapped a two-game skid with Friday’s shutout victory. A player to watch for the White Sox is reliever Sean Newcomb. The left-hander has been a frequent option out of the bullpen, appearing in nine games already. He pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings with three strikeouts in his last outing Thursday. For the Athletics, left-hander Jacob Lopez is a key multi-inning weapon. In his last appearance Thursday, he provided five innings of relief against Texas, allowing two runs on three hits with five strikeouts. The offenses have struggled early. The White Sox have been held to three or fewer runs in seven of their last ten games. The Athletics, despite a better record, have scored three or fewer runs in six of their last ten. According to National Statistical’s game simulator, the Athletics are projected to win 7-1. Following Sunday’s series finale, the White Sox head to Arizona for a three-game set starting Tuesday. The Athletics embark on a six-game road trip Monday, beginning with three in Seattle. Probable Pitchers: White Sox: RHP Erick Fedde (0-3, ERA N/A). Athletics: RHP Luis Severino (0-2, ERA N/A).
