Taking the mound
Sean Burke (CWS) v. Michael King (SD)
Burke has been a quite solid frontline starter for the Sox so far in 2026. He’s pitched to a 3.21 ERA across 33 2/3 innings. He’ll look to keep that up against San Diego after rookie Noah Schultz pitched a scoreless outing last night. Burke’s biggest struggle in the past has been limiting baserunners. In his first full season of work, he allowed a 1.44 WHIP and .251 opponent batting average (2025). He’s been much better to start this year, but Burke is looking to prove himself tonight against the Friars. San Diego will have their ace on the bump in King. The righty has returned to peak form, pitching to a 2.41 ERA in his first six starts. He’s also struck out 34 batters in 33 2/3 innings pitched. But the best metric has been King’s .177 opponent batting average. It’s the lowest mark of his career by far, and he’s shown no signs of slowing down. If King can limit Chicago, the Padres won’t need to do much to force the rubber match.
