The Story
The Los Angeles Dodgers shut out the Chicago White Sox 3-0 at Guaranteed Rate Field on June 24, 2024, with all three runs coming in a decisive seventh-inning burst. The DiamondIQ model had opened with the White Sox holding a 21% win probability, a figure that eroded steadily before collapsing to 0% by the final out. Garrett Crochet was the dominant force on the mound for Chicago, posting a remarkable +42.3% win probability added, keeping the Dodgers scoreless through six innings and generating one of the game's sharpest swings when Chris Taylor grounded into a double play in the second inning, a sequence that shifted win probability by -11.2% against Los Angeles.
The game turned entirely in the top of the seventh against reliever Steven Wilson. Enrique Hernández opened the frame with a double worth +10.6% in win probability, and Miguel Rojas followed with a double of his own that added another +9.4%. A fielding error on Chris Taylor — the same batter who had cost the Dodgers in the second — contributed an additional +9.0% swing, completing a three-event sequence that produced the game's decisive two-run frame. A ninth-inning run extended the margin to three, but the outcome had been effectively settled in that seventh-inning cluster.
Among the standout performers, Garrett Crochet led all players at +42.3% WPA despite pitching for the losing side, a testament to how thoroughly he controlled the contest before the bullpen faltered. Evan Phillips contributed +13.3% WPA in relief for Los Angeles, navigating a Luis Robert Jr. double in the eighth — a swing worth +8.8% in the White Sox's favor — without surrendering a run. Robert finished as the top offensive performer by WPA at +9.9%, while Miguel Rojas and his +4.0% WPA anchored the Dodgers' late offensive surge.
