Rangers vs White Sox Prediction 

Texas comes into this series looking to snap a four-game losing streak, but they were shut out on Thursday afternoon, and they are just 8-16 on the road. Chicago has also struggled recently, and they are 10-14 at home. The White Sox have scored two runs or fewer in three of their last four games, and they are facing Mahle, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in five straight starts. The Rangers are a slightly better offensive team than Chicago, and they are facing Burke, who has allowed one earned run or fewer in three of his last five starts. I trust Mahle against this Chicago offense, and I am taking the Rangers -1.5 here.
