Daily MLB Lineup Tips
Rangers’ Red-Hot Offense Comes Home to Face White Sox
The Texas Rangers have found their swing, and they’re bringing an offensive onslaught home for a six-game homestand. The first test for their red-hot bats is a three-game series against the Chicago White Sox, starting Friday night in Arlington.
An Offensive Explosion in Texas
After some early-season struggles, the Texas Rangers offense has woken up in a historic way. They scored a whopping 34 runs in their last three-game series against the Twins, the most for the franchise in a three-game set since 2012. They’ve launched 11 home runs in their last four games, with six different players going deep in Thursday’s 16-3 victory alone.
“I think you see some guys that’re getting their timing and making consistent hard contact,” Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said. “That’s the biggest thing that’s been going on with us.”
Adrian Houser’s Revenge Game
The White Sox are countering this offensive firepower with one of the best stories of the season: right-hander Adrian Houser (2-1, 1.48 ERA). Houser actually began the year in the Rangers’ farm system before being released in May. The White Sox picked him up, and he has found a new lease on life, giving up three runs or fewer in all four of his starts. Now, he gets a chance to show his old organization what they let go.
“I’ve been able to use all my pitches and throw them in the zone,” Houser said of his recent success. “I’m trying to get ahead… and try to get them out early in the count.”
A Contrast in Pitching Strategies
Friday’s game will feature two very different approaches on the mound. While the White Sox will rely on their hot starter, the Rangers will employ a “bullpen game” with their rotation thinned by injuries. How a team navigates a bullpen game is a fascinating topic covered in our expert betting guide. This unique pitching matchup will be a key factor in the game’s scores and odds.
While the Rangers are favorites, the White Sox took two of three games from Texas when these MLB teams met back in May. To see who our experts think will win this intriguing matchup, check out our daily MLB picks.
