The Rangers are coming into this game with a 26-31 record overall and they are 13-15 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 4 of their last 5 games and are coming into this one on a 2 game losing streak. 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 series finale of a 3-game series with the White Sox on Sunday. This will be the 3rd game of the series on Sunday with the 2nd game still to be played on Saturday. Martín Pérez is the starting pitcher for them on Saturday while Jon Gray will be on the mound for them here on Sunday. He is 1-3 with a 5.28 ERA this season. His team lost 3 of their last 4 games this season with him starting. In his last start, he allowed 5 ER, 0 HRs, and 4 BB with 3 Ks on 6 hits in 5 IP against the Cleveland Guardians. 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 27-29 record overall and they are 13-15 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games but are coming into this one off of a win in their last game which snapped a 2 game winning streak that they were on. They just lost their 3-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-1 and they are playing the series finale of a 3-game series with the Rangers on Sunday. This will be the 3rd game of the series on Sunday with the 2nd game still to be played on Saturday. Lucas Giolito is the starting pitcher for them on Saturday while Michael Kopech will be on the mound for them here on Sunday. He is 2-2 with a 1.94 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 0 earned runs, 0 homers, and 1 BB with 8 strikeouts on 1 hit in 6 innings played against the Los Angeles Dodgers. 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 White Sox are coming into this game as a favorite with the current betting odds. They have been playing much better in their recent games but they have been struggling to put streaks together with bad pitching from their bullpen. They have Kopech on the mound here though and he has been their best pitcher all season. He gives the White Sox a very good chance of winning this even with their bullpen as he has not had a bad start yet and he will also pitch deep into this game relieving some stress off of that bullpen. They are going up against a Rangers team that has not been playing well recently and they have Gray on the mound here who has been very bad this season, especially on the road. He will likely have another bad performance here which has been common for him this season and Kopech is the type of pitcher that can carry his team to the win here. The best bet here is on the White Sox to win this game.

"We were obviously put in a tough spot losing our starter, but our pitchers did a good job and kept us in the game. A couple of mistakes, didn't make some plays and being a little sloppy there at the end led to a five-run eighth inning." - Chris Woodward after his team’s loss against the White Sox on Friday.

 

 

"I can't give enough credit to Davis Martin. You can't get beat on solo homers." - Tony La Russa after his team’s win against the Rangers on Friday.
