MLB Postseason: White Sox vs Athletics TV channel and live stream reddit for Game 2
By Mike Luciano
The Chicago White Sox will try to put away the Oakland Athletics in Game 2.
The Oakland Athletics managed to snag the No. 2 seed in the crowded American League, but Bob Melvin once again finds himself one game from elimination thanks to Jose Abreu, Lucas Giolito and the Chicago White Sox.
The No. 7 seed White Sox are looking to pull off the upset against an Athletics franchise that has struggled to find postseason success over the last decade. However, the A’s have enough depth in their lineup to win Game 2 and set up a do-or-die Gane 3.
What to watch for in White Sox vs Athletics Game 2
After Giolito shut the A’s down yesterday, the White Sox will start veteran left-hander and former AL Cy Young winner Dallas Keuchel, who has plenty of experience pitching against the A’s going back to his days with the Houston Astros. The soft-tossing southpaw has returned to elite form in 2020, throwing up a sparkling 1.99 ERA. With the A’s searching for answers on offense without Matt Chapman, this could get ugly.
Oakland will counter with former White Sox pitcher Chris Bassitt, who has made the jump from solid to elite this season. In 11 starts, Bassitt went 5-2 with a 2.29 ERA this season while leading this team in WAR with 2.1. Bassitt’s numbers are up there with the best in the American League, but he will need to prove that he can shut down one of the league’s best lineups when losing this game means the season is over.
