The Chicago White Sox have been shut out 10 times out of their 41 games this season. If that pace continues over a full season, they will break the MLB record for most zero-run games in a season. They are currently on pace to be shut out 38 times and the MLB record is 33 set by the 1908 St. Louis Browns. A team hasn’t been shut out 30 times in a season since the 1962 New York Mets. The White Sox offense is trending toward one of the worst seasons on.
White Sox Continue to Face Issues on Offense
Runs in General Are Hard to Come By
The White Sox has scored just one run in four games and two runs in six games. These low-scoring games have put them at a -90 run differential just a quarter of the way into their season. While the Miami Marlins have the same run differential as the White Sox, the next lowest is the Colorado Rockies at -66. If that run differential was throughout a full season, the White Sox would end with a -360 run differential, which would be the lowest since the 1891 Washington Senators. Only three times in the last 50 years has a team had a run differential worse than -320.
