Texas Rangers vs Chicago White Sox Betting Preview

The Chicago White Sox will host the Texas Rangers in a crucial matchup at Guaranteed Rate Field on August 28, 2024. Both teams are struggling this season, with the White Sox holding a dismal record of 31-101, making them the 30th worst offense in MLB, while the Rangers sit at 60-71, ranking 24th in overall offensive production. The stakes in this series are heightened by a shared desire to end the season on a high note, particularly following the Rangers' recent disappointing loss to the Guardians.

On the mound, the White Sox are projected to start Touki Toussaint, who has made 9 appearances out of the bullpen this year but has struggled significantly, posting a 7.71 ERA and ranking as the 316th best starting pitcher in MLB. Comparatively, Jack Leiter of the Rangers is also facing challenges, with an alarming 16.39 ERA and having been hit hard in his last outing where he allowed 6 earned runs over just 2 innings pitched.

Despite their respective struggles, the projections suggest that the Rangers have an advantage in this matchup, especially given the White Sox's lackluster offense that has hit only 90 home runs this season, the 3rd least in MLB. The leading MLB projection system, THE BAT X, anticipates that the Rangers will score an impressive 5.74 runs on average today, while the White Sox are projected at a modest 4.28 runs.

With the high Game Total currently set at 9.0 runs, bettors may find value in focusing on the Rangers' offensive capacity against a beleaguered White Sox pitching staff, as they aim to secure a win in this pivotal game.
