Chicago White Sox vs. Texas Rangers Prediction
If Garrett Crochet wasn’t on a pitch count tonight, I probably wouldn’t be fading his team. The White Sox have made it clear that they will be limiting Crochet’s innings until they ship him away at the trade deadline. That means Crochet will probably only pitch three or four innings tonight, and Chicago will have to rely heavily on their bullpen. That smells like trouble for the White Sox…
Chicago opened up around (+100) in this game, but have since moved to (+120). Oddsmakers must be moving this line with the news of Crochet being limited. This is a great sign for the Rangers, who continue to catch steam as we approach first pitch. Jon Gray has been solid for the majority of his outings whether that be out of the bullpen or starting. I trust him enough to silence this struggling White Sox lineup in his return to the rotation.
Don’t look now, but the Rangers are getting awfully close to getting back to .500. A sweep against the White Sox would go a long way, and although a lot of the best teams in baseball seem to struggle around this time of year, the Rangers can not afford to let their guard down. Continue to fade the White Sox on this losing streak, even if that means fading Crochet.
The Rangers were barely favorites when the opening lines for this game dropped. They are now sitting at (-140) on most books. Lock-in their moneyline before the odds get any worse, I’ll meet you at the cash counter after the White Sox lose their 9th straight game.
