The White Sox hope the addition of Edwin Jackson will alleviate any concerns about their rotation as they push for the playoffs. It’s the Baltimore Orioles’ staff, though, that has placed Chicago’s hold on sole possession of first place in the AL Central in jeopardy. Jackson will make his second start for the White Sox as they close a four-game series against the Orioles on Monday night. Chicago needed to fill a major void in its rotation after losing Jake Peavy to season-ending shoulder injury last month. The White Sox think they’ve done so after acquiring Jackson from Arizona for Daniel Hudson and a prospect just before the trade deadline. Jackson made his Chicago debut Wednesday against one of his former teams. Facing Detroit, the right-hander allowed one run, nine hits, one walk and struck out six over seven innings of the 4-1 win.

The win also snapped a personal four-game losing streak in which Jackson had a 7.25 ERA. Monday’s start will be critical for Jackson as he tries to help his new club split a four-game series against the major league-worst Orioles. The White Sox are trying to build momentum before playing six of their next nine against Minnesota, which trails Chicago by a half-game. Jackson has won his last four starts against the Orioles, giving up two runs and five hits over 16 innings in the last two. However, Jackson may not get much support as Baltimore’s starting pitching has been hot during the series. The Orioles posted a 4-3 win Sunday, their fifth in six game under new manager Buck Showalter as Felix Pie homered and Jeremy Guthrie gave up one run in eight innings. Baltimore’s starters are 3-0 with a 1.94 ERA and each has gone six innings under Showalter.
