Chicago White Sox vs Texas Rangers Picks and Predictions May 25th 2025

White Sox Look to Sweep Reeling Rangers at Home

The Chicago White Sox are on the verge of something they haven’t accomplished since last September—a series sweep. After putting together one of their best offensive games of the season, they’ll look to cap off a three-game sweep against the Texas Rangers on Sunday afternoon at Guaranteed Rate Field.

Chicago’s bats were alive on Saturday as they collected a season-high 14 hits in a 10-5 win, leaving the Rangers reeling after their sixth straight loss.

Bats Come Alive for South Siders

The White Sox offense got a much-needed boost with the return of Andrew Benintendi and Mike Tauchman, who combined for three hits and three RBIs in the victory.

Benintendi, playing in his second game back from a calf injury, tallied two hits and two RBIs, while Tauchman, in only his second appearance since April 9, launched a solo homer to get the crowd going.

“Quality at-bats, controlling the zone,” White Sox manager Will Venable said. “That’s what it’s going to take from top to bottom, stringing together quality at-bats.”

Extra-Base Barrage and Disciplined Plate Approach

Saturday’s offensive explosion was highlighted by eight extra-base hits and eight walks—a sign that Chicago is trending upward at the plate. The win was their third in the last four games, showing signs of life after a difficult start to 2025.

Davis Martin Starts for Chicago

Davis Martin (2-5, 3.49 ERA) gets the ball for the White Sox after his longest outing of the season on Monday against Seattle. He pitched 7 1/3 innings, giving up just two earned runs on four hits, though the team fell 5-1.

Martin’s lone career outing against the Rangers came back in June 2022, when he allowed two runs over five innings in a no-decision.

While his record doesn’t jump off the page, Martin has been dependable, keeping his team in games and working deep into starts.

Rangers Hit Rock Bottom Amid Skid

The Rangers, who just a year ago were playing in the World Series, are experiencing a dramatic fall. Saturday’s loss not only extended their season-worst losing streak to six games, but it also came with a big blow: Joc Pederson suffered a fractured hand after getting hit by a pitch.

“That’s a bad break,” Texas manager Bruce Bochy said. “We’re having tough luck keeping guys on the field.”

During their six-game skid, Texas has been outscored 28-14 and fallen to fourth place in the AL West. The bullpen has particularly struggled, surrendering eight runs (seven earned) across three innings on Saturday.

Corbin Starts Sunday, Seeks to Stop the Bleeding

Veteran left-hander Patrick Corbin (3-3, 3.59 ERA) will start for Texas in hopes of ending the slump. In his last outing, Corbin went five innings, allowing three runs on five hits in a 5-2 loss to the Yankees.

Though Corbin has shown signs of rebounding from his tough 2024 season, his history against the White Sox isn’t pretty: 1-2 record with a 6.48 ERA in three career starts.

• Rangers: Snapping their losing streak is critical to avoid deeper freefall in the AL West.

Both teams need a result for very different reasons—one to build, the other to stabilize.
