Why This Trend Exists

The White Sox's struggles on zero days rest stem from their organizational approach to roster construction and bullpen management over the past decade. Chicago has consistently built teams around power hitting and starting pitching depth rather than bullpen flexibility, leaving them vulnerable when forced into situations requiring maximum relief usage. Their tendency to lean heavily on a small core of trusted relievers creates fatigue issues that compound when there's no recovery time between games. The team's analytical approach under different front office regimes has emphasized optimizing for regular rest scenarios, often leaving them unprepared for the unique demands of back-to-back games. Chicago's hitters have historically performed worse against fresh pitching when they're dealing with accumulated fatigue, while their own pitching staff lacks the depth to maintain effectiveness without proper recovery periods. The psychological factor cannot be ignored either - the White Sox have developed a pattern of poor execution in high-leverage spots during compressed schedules, suggesting mental fatigue affects their decision-making as much as physical limitations. Bettors should target Chicago's zero rest games when they're facing teams with superior bullpen depth or when the game total suggests a high-scoring affair that will tax their relief corps. This trend matters most during divisional series and late-season stretches when every game carries playoff implications.
