The White Sox are 12-14 at home this year, while the Rangers are 8-18 on the road. Texas has dropped six games in a row, and its offense has been awful for most of the season. The Rangers are starting Corbin, who has allowed three earned runs or fewer in five straight starts. The White Sox are starting Martin, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last five starts. It is very tough to trust this Texas team right now, but Corbin has been very good this year. Take the Rangers to win.
