Tonight at 8:10 p.m. ET, the Chicago White Sox (21-25) and Houston Astros (30-18) open up a three-game weekend series live from Minute Maid Park in Houston.
Chicago continues an 11-game road trip and has won two of its last three contests while Houston embarks on a seven-game homestand and is trying to avoid a two-match skid.
The White Sox are coming in off of splitting a makeup doubleheader against the Orioles in Baltimore Thursday while the Astros dropped two of three to the O's during a Monday-Wednesday three-match set.
