2012 Rangers vs White Sox Betting Predictions<\/h2>\n

The Rangers were on a nice roll but couldn\u2019t close out the sweep against Oakland over the weekend. \u00a0Still they have won 7 of their last 10 and are one of the best road teams in the Majors with a 23-15 record. \u00a0 <\/p>\n

Matchup<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Preview<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Texas<\/strong><\/p>\n

These teams have met three times this season with Texas taking two of those to open the season at Arlington. \u00a0This is a nice series between two current division leaders, one expected (Texas) and the other not (Chicago).<\/p>\n

Roy Oswalt has made just two starts for the Rangers but things are looking pretty good so far. \u00a0The team has won both games, with him pitching 6 innings in each. \u00a0He is striking out a batter per inning and has a K:BB ratio of 12:3. \u00a0If he keeps that up a load of other teams are going to be wondering why they didn\u2019t pull the trigger on him. \u00a0This is a rare spot where you can get Texas as an underdog so there is good value there.

Chicago<\/strong><\/p>\n

The White Sox strolled into the Bronx and grabbed the first two games against the Yankees this weekend…but they couldn\u2019t hold the momentum and dropped the last two of the series between division leaders. \u00a0Now they are back home looking to best the team with the best record in the league. \u00a0Back to back series against MLB\u2019s top two teams is a bit of a scheduling quirk. \u00a0That\u2019s life in the American League.<\/p>\n

In his first season as a starter lefty Chris Sale is making hitters look silly. \u00a0The league is hitting a scant .198 against him and he is showing better control than he did when he was coming out of the pen. \u00a0He has never faced Texas as a starter and was given an extra day of rest heading into this one to manage his innings and fatigue. \u00a0It should be fun to watch Sale against fellow All-Star Josh Hamilton (0-1 lifetime).<\/p>\n

O\/U Pick: \u00a0Under<\/strong>
\n Score Prediction: \u00a0Chicago 5 – Texas 3<\/strong><\/p>\n
