Tuesday’s MLB slate features a starting pitcher looking to continue a historic start to the 2026 season. Game 2 of a three-game set between the Los Angeles Angels (12-18) and the Chicago White Sox (12-17) may not be a must-watch matchup at first glance, but one of the most intriguing storylines of the young season takes center stage in Chicago, Illinois.
The White Sox took Game 1 at home on Monday night in a high-scoring affair, but they’ll now face Angels right-hander José Soriano, who has allowed just one run through his first six starts this year. Opposing him is 29-year-old Davis Martin, who is off to an impressive start himself with a 3-1 record and a 2.01 ERA across five outings.
Both teams may be near the bottom of the standings, but Tuesday night at Rate Field offers fans a chance to potentially watch history continue to unfold.

José Soriano’s Historic Start to 2026
José Soriano is off to a start unlike anything Major League Baseball has seen since earned runs became official in both leagues in 1913 (min. 30 IP). The right-hander owns a historic, league-leading 0.24 ERA, the lowest through a pitcher’s first six starts of a season.
Excluding openers, Soriano is also the first starting pitcher in MLB history to allow one or fewer total runs through his first six starts of a season.
Not only does Soriano have a historic ERA, but he is also 5-0 with 43 strikeouts in 37.2 innings. His five wins and perfect winning percentage lead the majors entering Tuesday, and he also leads MLB with a 2.7 bWAR.
José Soriano’s AL Cy Young Award Odds
The Angels may not be off to the start they hoped for, sitting six games under .500, but Soriano has been a major bright spot. After posting a 3.89 ERA across his first three seasons with the Angels, he has emerged as one of the top pitchers in baseball early in 2026.
- José Soriano to win the 2026 AL Cy Young Award: +600
Soriano is currently tied for the second-best odds to win the 2026 American League Cy Young Award at Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook, trailing only reigning back-to-back winner Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers.
