Summary
Chicago enters Game 2 one win from eliminating Houston after a 6-3 Game 1 victory put the White Sox on the verge of a two-game sweep.
Sean Burke gives Chicago a strong closeout chance after an 11-7 season with a 3.34 ERA; he was even better on the road at 2.58 and allowed two earned runs in 11.2 innings against Houston.
Hunter Brown starts for the Astros after Houston burned eight pitchers in Game 1, including 49 pitches to escape the first inning, leaving bullpen usage a key pressure point.
The matchup comes amid a dramatic turnaround for Chicago, which snapped a playoff drought since 2021 after losing 324 games over the previous three seasons.
