Texas comes into this matchup on a three-game winning streak and has won four of their last five games. In their dramatic 5-4 victory over Chicago on Saturday, which stretched to eleven innings, Jacob deGrom turned in a strong performance for the Rangers. He took the mound for six innings, giving up just five hits and two earned runs. DeGrom showcased excellent control, striking out six batters without issuing a single walk. On the offensive side this season, rookie sensation Wyatt Langford has emerged as Texas’ top power threat, leading the team with 13 home runs. Jake Burger has also provided a big boost, ranking second on the team with 10 homers to his name. Driving in runs has been Adolis Garcia’s specialty, as he tops the squad with 34 RBIs so far this year. When it comes to hitting for average, Josh Smith leads the way for the Rangers, boasting a .287 batting average to date. The Rangers’ offense has been especially potent over their most recent five games, during which they have averaged an impressive 8.4 runs per contest. Despite this recent surge, Texas currently trails Houston by five and a half games in the race for first place in the AL West. The team’s bats have been hot, and they will be eager to keep this offensive momentum alive as they play at home. On the season as a whole, the Rangers are averaging 3.7 runs per game.

Chicago enters this game on a four-game losing streak and has dropped four of their last five games. In their 5-4 defeat against Texas, Kyle Teel managed to collect one hit in four at-bats, notching both a run scored and an RBI for the White Sox. This season, Miguel Vargas stands out as Chicago's top power hitter, having launched nine home runs to lead the team. Trailing him are Andrew Benintendi and Luis Robert Jr., who have each contributed six homers, making them tied for the second-most on the club. Vargas has also been the White Sox's most productive run producer, tallying 30 RBIs so far—a team-high mark. Additionally, he leads Chicago in batting average, currently hitting .242 for the season. Defensively, the White Sox have struggled, surrendering an average of 4.8 runs per game across their last five outings. Offense has also been hard to come by: Chicago is averaging just 3.5 runs per game overall this year, highlighting their difficulties in bringing runners home. Despite their rough season, the White Sox are aiming to claw out any victories they can as the season progresses.

The White Sox have shown some progress compared to last year, but they remain far from playoff contention. Their struggles have been most evident during away games, where they've managed to secure just seven wins, and their offense has often gone quiet on the road. Meanwhile, the Rangers are aiming to keep pace in the playoff race and maintain their status as contenders. On the mound for Chicago will be Aaron Civale, who currently holds a 1-2 record and a 4.91 ERA this season. Final Score Prediction, Texas Rangers win 4-2.
