The Chicago White Sox (43-64) open a 3-game series against the Texas Rangers (60-46) Tuesday at Globe Life Field. First pitch is scheduled for 8:05 p.m. ET.

White Sox at Rangers picks and predictions

Prediction

Rangers 6, White Sox 4

Moneyline

Even though the Rangers should secure the win at home on Tuesday, I’ll AVOID taking their moneyline at over -200 odds and focus on the run line and total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

RANGERS -1.5 (-115) is how I’d wager on the run line with Scholtens pitching for the White Sox. Scholtens doesn’t strike many batters out, and even with SS Corey Seager missing time recently, the Rangers still have the 5th-best wOBA (.351) and the 4th-best wRC+ (125) against righties since the start of July.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

OVER 9 (-115) is the pick in this contest with Scholtens and Heaney taking the mound. In the 6 games that Scholtens has pitched at least 4 innings, he’s allowed 2 earned runs or more in 4.

Meanwhile, Heaney has given up 3 earned runs or more in 3 of his last 5 starts.

Guardians at White Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Guardians 6, White Sox 3

Moneyline

BET GUARDIANS (-145).

The White Sox are looking to offload players ahead of the trade deadline and they’ve lost 8 of their last 10 contests. Meanwhile, the Guardians are 7-3 in their last 10 games and have their sights on trying to win the AL Central.

Run line/Against the spread

With Toussaint pitching for the White Sox, GUARDIANS -1.5 (+105) is my bet. Cleveland has won by at least 2 runs in 6 of its last 7 victories.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

UNDER 10 (-110) is the pick with it being a high total. Curry has pitched well as an opener for the Guardians and the White Sox have tallied fewer than 5 runs in 6 of their last 8 games.

Blue Jays at White Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 6, White Sox 4

Moneyline

I’ll take the BLUE JAYS (-125) in Tuesday’s matchup even though they were just swept by the Red Sox. The Blue Jays are 4-0 in the last 4 meetings with the White Sox and they’ve outscored them 20-2 in the 3 meetings back in April.

Run line/Against the spread

The BLUE JAYS -1.5 (+125) are solid value with how they have performed against the White Sox this season. Toronto won by 3 or more runs in each of the previous 3 meetings.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

OVER 8.5 (-110) is the lean Tuesday with both teams sending out inconsistent pitchers. Bassitt and Giolito have given up homers this season and both teams are 12th or better in ISO against right-handed pitching since the start of June.

The White Sox are 5-0 to the Over in their last 5 overall. The Over is also 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings between these clubs in Chicago and 7-3 in the last 10 meetings overall.

Rangers at White Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Rangers 5, White Sox 3

Moneyline

There aren’t many times when you can get a superior team like the Rangers at these odds against an inferior squad. Texas is 21-14 on the road compared to Chicago posting a 17-18 record at home. BET TEXAS (-130).

Run line/Against the spread

RANGERS -1.5 (+125) has decent value with Texas boasting one of the best lineups in baseball and Cease being inconsistent this season. Of their 45 wins thus far, the Rangers have won by fewer than 2 runs only 4 times.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 8.5 (-115).

Eovaldi has been stellar this season for the Rangers and should pitch deep into Tuesday’s contest. The White Sox are also tallying the 2nd-worst wOBA (.289) and wRC+ (81) against right-handed pitching this season.

The Rangers are 4-0-1 in their last 5 games against teams with a losing record and the Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings overall.

Prediction

Yankees 6, White Sox 4

Even with Judge sidelined for New York, I’ll side with the YANKEES (-140) at home on Wednesday. The White Sox are 11-20 on the road compared to the Yankees being 19-14 at home this season.

Run line/Against the spread

The YANKEES -1.5 (+145) is a solid value with how poor Lynn has pitched so far this season. Lynn has a 3.24 HR/9 and .461 wOBA to left-handed batters this season, and the Yankees will run out a few of them Wednesday.

Prediction

Angels 5, White Sox 4

Moneyline

I’ll back the ANGELS (+120) on the road in Monday’s showdown despite that they have lost 3 straight games. The White Sox are 12-13 at home this season and it’s tough to predict what version of Kopech we’ll get.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 8.5 (-120).

With both pitchers being susceptible to giving up multiple runs, the Over is an enticing wager in this game. The White Sox are 4-0 to the Over in their last 4 games overall.

White Sox at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 8, White Sox 3

Moneyline

PASS.

Even though I envision the Blue Jays cruising to a win at home on Wednesday, wagering on them to win at the current odds (-190) is not advised.

Run line/Against the spread

BLUE JAYS -1.5 (+100) is the pick in this game with how these teams have been performing recently. Toronto has won by at least 2 runs in each of the first 2 games of the series and I expect Kopech to struggle again Wednesday.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

OVER 10 (-105) is how I’d bet on the total with the Blue Jays swinging a hot bat in recent games. Kopech has surrendered at least 3 ER in 3 of his first 4 starts and Kikuchi has given up at least 1 HR in each start thus far.

There have been 10 runs or more scored in 7 of the last 9 meetings between these clubs, and the Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Toronto and 7-2 in the last 9 meetings overall.

White Sox at Rays projected starters

RHP Lucas Giolito vs. RHP Zach Eflin

Giolito (1-1, 4.29 ERA) makes his 5th start. He has a 1.24 WHIP, 1.7 BB/9 and 9.9 K/9 in 21 IP.

  • 1 start vs. Rays last year: 6 IP, 8 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 K and the W in 6-5 Sox win in Tampa on June 5
  • Allowed no hits through 6 IP with 1 BB and 7 K in last start on Tuesday vs. the Philadelphia Phillies

  • First start since serving a 15-day stint on the injured list due to lower back tightness
  • Has allowed a combined 4 ER, 12 H, 1 BB, 12 K in 11 IP in his 1st 2 starts

White Sox at Rays picks and predictions

Prediction

Rays 6, White Sox 3

Moneyline

With how these teams are performing recently, I’ll side with the RAYS (-150) to get the win at home and complete the series sweep. Tampa Bay is perfect  at home (12-0) while Chicago is 4-8 on the road.

Run line/Against the spread

RAYS -1.5 (+140) has solid value with Tampa Bay looking to get its 5th straight victory. The Rays should be able to get to Giolito and even if Eflin is limited in his 1st start off the IL, Tampa Bay’s bullpen is capable of holding down the fort.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

OVER 7.5 (-115) is the pick in this matchup despite Giolito’s most recent performance and Eflin’s early-season success. The Over is 6-1-1 in the last 8 meetings in Tampa Bay and 4-1-1 in the last 6 meetings overall.

Orioles at White Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 5, White Sox 3

Moneyline

While the White Sox have the pitcher with more upside in this matchup, Kopech hasn’t shown much consistency in the early portion of the season. The ORIOLES (-115) have a good shot to secure a win with Gibson on the mound — and improve to 4-0 in his starts this season — if he can go at least 5 innings.

Run line/Against the spread

ORIOLES -1.5 (+140) has some decent value with the White Sox sputtering in recent games. Kopech has struggled with walks and that could lead to runs against an Orioles team that is tied for the league lead with 21 stolen bases.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 9 (-105).

Despite the Orioles swinging a hot bat, the White Sox have failed to generate consistent runs with SS Tim Anderson on the injured list. The Under is 6-0-1 in the last 7 meetings in Chicago and 6-1-1 in the last 8 meetings overall.
