The Chicago White Sox have lost five in a row while getting outscored 39-23. They are 20-42 on the road, 27-63 away against a right-handed starter. Chicago goes with aging James Shields (5.90 ERA), who is 0-3 with a 7.54 ERA over his last seven starts. On offense, the White Sox are #26 in baseball in runs scored, #25 in on-base percentage, on a 13-38 run on the road. Texas has a winning home record with a top six offense and plays its eighth straight home contest. The offense is red-hot scoring 10, 12 and nine runs the last three games (all wins). Starter Andrew Cashner (3.32 ERA) is throwing great at 3-1 over his last four starts. Since the start of July, he's 4-2 with a 2.27 ERA, which is the fifth-lowest ERA in the American League in that span. Texas is a tough park to pitch in but Cashner has adjusted well with a 2.25 ERA at home this season. The Rangers are also 37-16 at home against a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Play Texas.
