Who will win Rangers vs White Sox today: White Sox (-126)
The Texas Rangers hand Kumar Rocker the baseball this evening, and he is not exactly consistent. The right-hander owns a 5.28 FIP across his last two starts while allowing 5.40 BB/9, putting himself in trouble too often.
The Chicago White Sox are showing real promise at the dish, carrying a .209 ISO and 117 wRC+ over their last 13 contests.
Jose Urquidy just came over in a trade, and after a rough debut, he tossed six scoreless innings last week. He was more of a reliever before arriving in Chicago, but the White Sox bullpen profile is promising with a 3.37 FIP over its last 38 1/3 frames.
Chicago has the cleaner full-game profile, and I would take this up to -150.
COVERS INTEL: Rocker has allowed 1.80 HR/9 across his last five appearances, compared to 1.26 HR/9 overall this season. His homer issues are dangerous against a flourishing Chicago lineup. 
Rangers vs White Sox Over/Under pick: Under 8.5 (-121)
Chicago’s offense may be swinging it well, but the same cannot be said for Texas. The Rangers have a horrible 77 wRC+ across the last week, and the White Sox bullpen has been solid lately.
Rocker may give up some runs amid his command and homer issues, but Texas’ relief corps can help keep the damage in check once he exits. The Rangers’ bullpen owns a 3.19 FIP over its last 19 2/3 innings of work.
With Texas struggling badly at the dish, this points to a lower-scoring contest where Chicago does most of the damage.
Play this pick up to -140.
Rangers vs White Sox home run prediction: Miguel Vargas (+414)
Miguel Vargas has been a consistent power outlet for the White Sox all season. While he has only gone deep once in his previous seven contests, the underlying metrics suggest he could punish Rocker or potentially a Texas reliever.
The slugger owns a 52.9% hard-hit rate and 17.6% barrel rate over the last week while putting 47.1% of his contact in the air. Rocker’s HR problems are evident, and he has also allowed a 45% fly-ball rate over the last month.
The Rangers’ pen is not as vulnerable to the long ball, but it has given up a 15.2% barrel rate over the last week, which hints at some danger.
Play this pick to +300.
