No, you’re not dreaming. At least not about what the White Sox have been doing lately.

Last night’s 8-2 bashing of the mighty Dodgers continued a streak of terrific performances against top teams in the tough stretch of schedule — and ran Chicago’s home winning streak to eight. It will be Sean Burke trying to run that streak to nine, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto trying to see that doesn’t happen.

Righthander Yamamato is the ace of the Dodgers staff among pitchers who don’t also DH, with a 2.68 ERA and 0.918 WHIP. He’s been particularly effective of late, allowing just three runs across 27 1/3 innings in his last four starts. He’ll face a lefty-heavy White Sox lineup, with Sam Antonacci starting things off:

Burke, who has a 3.88 ERA and 1.18 WHIP for the season, has been vulnerable of late, giving up 12 earned runs in 25 2/3 innings his last five times out. He had an opener against the Phillies last time, but that doesn’t appear to have helped much, because he proceeded to walk five in 4 1/3, so Will Venable has him with a traditional start this time. Burke will contend with a Dodger lineup that has Shohei Ohtani back in his customary leadoff spot after a one-game break to recover from a knee tweak on Thursday.

First pitch is scheduled for 3:10 p.m. Central, with the temps in the mid-80s and a stiff breeze out right to left. Usual broadcast suspects.

After the historic meltdown in San Francisco, the Nats came out flat and the Mariners made them pay. Now they need to prevent things from spiraling out of control. A win today would be a great way to move on from that Giants loss. The Nats need Cade Cavalli to be a stopper.

The Nats are making a few lineup alterations. James Wood is moving to right field, pushing Dylan Crews to center and Daylen Lile to left. Jose Tena will be the DH and Nasim Nunez will be back at second base. Drew Millas will do the catching in this contest to give Keibert Ruiz a breather. As mentioned, Cade Cavalli is starting, and this is one of the biggest starts of his young career.

With Randy Arozarena’s injury, the Mariners have to make a tweak. Old pal Victor Robles is in right field. Besides that, the only change is behind the plate, with veteran Mitch Garver doing the catching. Despite injuries to Cal Raleigh, Brendan Donovan, JP Crawford and now Arozarena, this lineup still has juice. Luis Castillo has had a tumultuous season, but he has been better lately and will be on the hill today.

It would probably be a little too much to call this a must win game, but it is a contest the Nats could really use. They cannot let that Giants disaster fester much longer, and if they keep losing, that game will become a dark cloud. This has been a resilient bunch, but this is a test. Follow along in the comments down below and let’s go Nats.

The Orioles are, once again, playing some very good baseball. These last three games have been a particularly nice showing for the offense, which has scored seven runs in each of them. Another seven runs today would be plenty welcome.

There’s no Adley Rutschman in the Orioles starting lineup today. That’s not a surprise since he caught last night, and a day—or matinee in this case—showing after a late evening usual means the catcher gets the day off. Hopefully he is available off the bench if a pinch hitter is needed.

Blaze Alexander is back in the order and playing third base. That means Coby Mayo heads to the bench after a tough game on Friday in which he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts and a fielding error. Craig Albernaz is trying to find the hot hand all over the field.

It’s Trey Gibson’s turn on the mound. He has struggled to miss bats so far as a big leaguer. Across 17 innings he has just five strikeouts. That includes his most recent outing against the Mariners, where he did not record any strikeouts across 4.2 frames. Punch outs aren’t everything, but at some point Gibson will need to prevent contact with more consistency.

Another win for the O’s today would make it four in a row, and it could allow them to leap frog the Blue Jays in the AL Standings. Let’s get it!

The Mariners will play a real baseball game today.

Yesterday’s game was delayed two hours due to rain, resulting in a purely non-competitive game in a mostly empty stadium. The Mariners won 10-2. Build a roof.

The sun is out on Saturday in the nation’s capital, however, and the Mariners will have to play a real baseball game. Unfortunately, Randy Arozarena pulled his hamstring on Friday, again in a game that started after many a bed time, and is out today. Cole Young leads off. The lefty sluggers Luke Raley and Dominic Canzone hit fourth and fifth. They’ll face Nationals “ace” Cade Cavalli. He’s been spectacular at times this year, and awful at others.

Luis Castillo gets the start for the Mariners. His former co-piglet Bryce Miller was great yesterday and has likely shed the training wheels for good. Castillo will look to show the Mariners he’s beyond them, too.

Sorry to be brief. I am eating some Dave’s Hot Chicken, flavored Hot, and it is Hot.

The Texas Rangers have placed outfielder Evan Carter on the injured list with a strained oblique, the team announced today. To take his place on the active roster, the Rangers have recalled infielder Cody Freeman.

This move was announced barely an hour before today’s game in Boston, and Corey Seager is out of the lineup again, having been declared day-to-day yesterday after the collision at home in Kansas City on Thursday. My guess is that, if Seager were able to play today, the Rangers wouldn’t have made this move, but they weren’t going to play this game with both Seager and Carter unavailable, leaving them with a two man bench.

Carter has not hit well this season, and if this is a short enough stint that he’s expected to miss just the minimum ten days, it would allow him to go on a rehab assignment next weekend with either Frisco or Round Rock, and maybe see if he can get things going with some at bats against minor league pitchers.

Look, none of us wanted to tune into a game in June and see Mickey Gasper leading off as the team’s DH. But it worked last night. Can they keep it going this afternoon? They’ll have to do it against Jacob deGrom, who is no longer JACOB DEGROM (Or is it JACOB deGROM? I have no idea, ask someone French) but who is pretty good nonetheless.
