Texas at Chicago

The Texas Rangers saw their five-game winning streak come to a close last night in a 3-1 defeat at the hands of the Oakland A's. The White Sox had a welcomed day off Monday after a successful seven-game road trip that saw them go 4-3. Chris Sale is on his way to stardom, and gave glimpses of that over the last two years in limited work, allowing just 67 hits in 94.1 innings of work. Sale is currently 9-2 with a 2.27 ERA, and has allowed just 68 hits in 95.1 innings of work. That means in his short major league career he has allowed just 135 hits in 190 innings - by far the best mark in baseball. Roy Oswalt is still shaking off the rust and has allowed 22 hits in 12.2 innings of work so the White Sox have a big advantage in this one. The Rangers are in a bad spot here as they are a woeful 2-12 on the road as a dog of +110 to +150 in their last 14. Sale has allowed 2 runs or less in 9 of his last 11 starts. The Rangers are not as offensive on the road and have played five of their last six on the highway to the UNDER, and 12 of the last 15 meetings between these clubs have fallen shy of the total as well. Play on the White Sox and take the UNDER.
