The Rangers are coming into this game with a 26-30 record overall and they are 13-14 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games and are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game. They just lost their 3-game series against the Cleveland Guardians 2-1, had Thursday off as a rest day, and they are playing the 2nd game of a 3-game series with the White Sox on Saturday. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Saturday with the series opener still to be played on Friday. Glenn Otto is the starting pitcher for them on Friday while Martín Pérez will be on the mound for them here on Saturday. He is 4-2 with a 1.56 ERA this season. His team won 6 of their last 7 games this season with him starting. In his last start, he allowed 2 ER, 1 HR, and 2 BB with 7 Ks on 7 hits in 6 IP against the Seattle Mariners. They scored 9 runs in their last series averaging 3 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 13 runs against them averaging just over 4 runs allowed per game.

 

The White Sox are coming into this game with a 26-29 record overall and they are 12-15 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 2 game losing streak. They just lost their 3-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-1 and they are playing the 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Rangers on Saturday. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Saturday with the series opener still to be played on Friday. Rookie pitcher Davis Martin is the starting pitcher for them on Friday while Lucas Giolito will be on the mound for them here on Saturday. He is 4-2 with a 3.54 ERA this season. His team won 2 of their last 3 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 2 earned runs, 2 homers, and 2 BB with 3 strikeouts on 8 hits in 6 innings played against the Tampa Bay Rays. They scored 14 runs in their last series averaging just over 4 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 15 runs against them averaging 5 runs allowed per game.

 

The Rangers are coming into this game as an underdog with the current betting odds. They have not been playing great in their recent games after a big run where they were winning a lot of games but they have their best pitcher on the mound here and have a very good shot of winning this game on the road. Perez has been lights out for the Rangers this season and he will make it hard on this White Sox team to score runs here as they have been struggling to win games recently. The White Sox have Giolitto starting here but even he is not having a great season and is not the same pitcher that he used to be. The White Sox also have an awful bullpen that cannot be trusted once their starter leaves the game and it does not matter if they do not allow a run in the game because the bullpen has blown many games late this season for the White Sox. The Rangers have been hitting well recently and they will get their hits here between Giolitto and the bullpen. The best bet here is on the Rangers to win this game.

"Getting picked off didn't help there, but the damage was already done. Today is a little different than most days and we were facing their best pitchers." - Chris Woodward after his team’s loss against the Guardians on Wednesday.

 

 

"Is there some question about whether that was good move or not? Do you know what (Turner) hits against left-handed pitching with 0-1 or two strikes? Do you know what Muncy hits with two strikes against a left-handed pitcher? Is that really a question? We had an open base and Muncy happened to be the guy behind him and that's a better matchup. That wasn't a tough call." - Tony La Russa after his team’s loss against the Dodgers on Thursday.
