Premium Pick

Texas is in bounce-back mode after getting shut out, but this is a strong all-around club, with an offense ranked ninth in runs scored. The Rangers are 21-8 after allowing five runs or more in their previous game. Colby Lewis is off to a good start and had a winning record at home (8-3) and on the road (9-6) last season. In 2015 he owned this White Sox team, too, at 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA, plus 6-0 lifetime against them. The Rangers are 13-6 against a left-handed starter and face the White Sox's 23-year-old southpaw Carlos Rodon (1-2, 4.73 ERA). He has been hittable giving up 16 hits in 13 innings, plus he's walked eight, a terrible ratio. Rodon couldn't make it out of the first inning in Monday's loss to the Angels, as he recorded just one out and allowed five runs on six hits and two walks. Chicago's offense does him no favors, at second to last in OBP and #28 in runs. Take Texas.
