Texas Rangers vs Chicago White Sox Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 8/26/24, 3:46 PM  by Edgar Jibran | Modified on 8/30/24 at 11:40 PM in MLB Picks

After more than 130 games played by each team in the MLB, is logical to have some squads that are already eliminated from the competition due to the very performances they’ve had, and one of those clear examples is Chicago White Sox, team that is in the bottom of the American League standings and that will face Texas Rangers next Tuesday, August 27th at 06:10 pm Central Time.

Even when they aren’t favorites to win this match, the fact that the head coach is planning to have Garrett Crochet as the opener is a clear sign that they’ll compete with everything they have for a victory, as Crochet has been able to achieve 180 strikeouts this season. Nevertheless, the offensive team has been truly inefficient, as the leader in produced runs is Andrew Vaughn with 48 scored runs and 15 home runs connected.

On Texas Rangers’ case, they also haven’t been able to compete in the AL West Division as they’re 10 games behind Houston Astros holding a record of 60W-71L. Additionally, they conceded 17 runs during their last 2 games, so having Andrew Heany as the opener pitcher looks like the correct decision as he has been able to get 131 strikeouts throughout the season. Also, a good performance from Corey Seager is expected on the offensive line, as he has connected 29 home runs in the season.
