Texas Rangers vs Chicago White Sox 6/19/2023 Expert Picks, Tips and Odds
The Chicago White Sox came home after a trying west coast road trip through Seattle and Los Angeles that resulted in a 2-4 record. Despite being 11 games below.500 on the season, the White Sox are only five games behind the division leader in the poor AL Central. Although White Sox pitcher Lance Lynn performed well on Sunday, the offense struggled. Lynn allowed four hits, two runs, and 16 batters in seven innings while recording a career-high 16 strikeouts. The game’s first pitcher, Lance Lynn, went 7.0 innings, giving up three earned runs on four hits, two walks, and a respectable 16 strikeouts.
The White Sox recalled right-hander Jesse Scholtens to replace starting pitcher Mike Clevinger, who was placed on the 15-day IL. Scholtens made seven appearances with the White Sox this season, including one start. Scholtens only struck out 12 hitters in 18.2 innings of pitching, resulting in a K/9 rate of just 4.8. Due to the fact that Scholtens just pitched one inning of relief on Saturday, he will probably only start the game on Monday night. He made his previous start for the White Sox on May 27th, pitching 4.2 innings and allowing four hits and two runs. In this game, the White Sox bullpen will be crucial. Chicago’s Andrew Benintendi, a center fielder, is hitting.276 with a team-best.347 on-base percentage, while first baseman Andrew Vaughn has 41 RBIs, which puts him in first place among the team’s hitters. With 68 hits and 17 home runs, CF Luis Robert Jr. leads the squad in both categories.
- The total remained under 10 of the Chicago White Sox’s last 15 outings.
- The Chi White Sox are 2-6 SU in their last eight matches.
- The total stayed under five of the White Sox’s last six matches at home.
Texas Rangers vs. Chicago White Sox The MLB pick for this game is the Texas Rangers. Texas scored four runs to win the Sunday rubber match. The series between Chicago and the Mariners just ended. Chicago lost by four on Sunday, and the Sox split their opening two games. They should triumph again when the Texas Rangers play the Chicago White Sox on Monday night. Due to the White Sox team’s absence of a starter, the Rangers offense, which leads MLB in runs scored per game, will likely open this game. Rangers starter Heaney was terrific, posting road performances with an ERA of over two and a half and a WHIP of under one. Don’t expect the White Sox to match the Rangers’ offensive production because they have only hit.211 as a team over their previous ten games. It’s expected that Texas Rangers will triumph 7-3.
