Rangers vs White Sox Prediction
The White Sox are coming into this game as a slight favorite with the current betting odds. They have not been having a good season but recently they have been playing much better and they are starting to win more games. They have won a few games straight between their last 2 series' and they have been a lot better with their pitching as well which has been a big problem for them. They have a rookie starting in this game as well but he has not been awful in his starts this season and they are going up against a Rangers team that have fallen into a slump recently and are not hitting the ball very well. Otto is also starting for the Rangers and he has not been great this season, the White Sox should be able to score on him here at home. The best bet here is on the White Sox to win this game.
Rangers White Sox Prediction: Our MLB Pick for Friday, June 10, 2022 (8:10 pm ET start time) is White Sox 4 Rangers 1.
