Chris Flexen, with a current ERA of 5.500, will lead the pitching for the White Sox. On the Cubs&#8217; side, Shota Imanaga brings a strong ERA of 1.862 to the mound.<\/p>\n<p>Amid struggles, the White Sox find themselves at the bottom of the AL Central Division with a mere 15 wins against 45 losses, reflecting a dismal winning percentage of 0.25.
