Chicago White Sox vs. Texas Rangers Prediction
I’m backing the over here. I just think this pitching matchup has all of the makings of a high-scoring game, and I look for that to play out here. Schultz has been more than hittable this season and the Rangers have actually been decent against left-handed pitching for much of the year. On the flipside, Kumar Rocker has not been as sharp at home as he was last season, and the White Sox have been a potent lineup against righties this season in their own right. Give me the over here.
