Sox Look To End Skid vs Struggling Harvey
The Chicago White Sox have looked downright terrible over the past three weeks with the team going 4-11 in their past 15 which includes L’s in each of their past six. The ChiSox will look to try and keep themselves a few games over .500 when they start a series with the New York Mets Monday.
The White Sox have the luxury of stepping up to the plate with Matt Harvey staring them down Monday. Harvey’s recent struggles have been well documented – with ‘The Dark Knight’ posting a 6.08 ERA this season and allowing a combined 16 runs in his past three starts.
Jose Quintana, who will take the bump for the White Sox, has been quietly dealing this season. The lefty has a 2.22 ERA on the season and has recorded a quality start in eight of his 10 outings.
