T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox.

I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Texas Rangers on Friday. The White Sox have looked really good in their games lately. They just lost their most recent game to the Rangers yesterday but they had won 4/5 of their previous 5 games before that and I think they are going to bounce back in this game. They only lost 3-2 yesterday in a close game and their pitching still looked great in that game. Their pitching has looked really good in their games lately, giving up no more than 3 runs in 6 games in a row now. I think they are going to pitch well again in this game with their bullpen looking a lot better lately and the Rangers offense hasn't looked great in their games lately either. The Rangers haven't put up more than 3 runs in 4 games in a row now but they have been giving up a ton of runs in those games and I don't see their offense waking up here. Dylan Cease (11-4, 2.01 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he has looked really good in all of his starts this year. He has rarely had a bad start this year and I expect him to shut down a cold Rangers lineup here. He hasn't given up more than 1 earned run in 12 starts in a row now and I expect him to pitch a similar performance here. Glenn Otto (4-7, 5.50 ERA) is up for the Rangers here and he hasn't looked good in his starts this year. He has given up a ton of runs in his starts all year and he didn't look very good in July either. He has given up 3+ runs in 4 games in a row now and that has been a common theme for him all year. I think he is going to give up a ton of runs in this game with the White Sox lineup getting hot lately and I see this being a bounce back for the White Sox. I like the White Sox to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 6-3 White Sox.
