White Sox vs Rangers Prediction

I’m not excited to get behind Urquidy and his 5.06 ERA and 1.50 WHIP, but we’ve been on the White Sox all season, and they’re the most profitable team for MLB bettors. Rocker also hasn’t been much better, with a 4.46 ERA and 1.40 WHIP. Should be a fun series between two teams making a playoff push, but the White Sox have been kind to us all season, and I’m not going to step in front of them. Give me the White Sox and the low price.
