The Rangers have outscored the White Sox 13-1 in the first two games in their three-game series. Today, they will go for the sweep with Max Scherzer making his Rangers debut. However, Texas may receive a boost from another star who recently returned to the lineup.
The Rangers hold a half-game lead over the Houston Astros in the AL West. Houston visits New York for the Astros' first matchup against the Yankees this season. Yordan Alvarez and Kyle Tucker may pose a difficult matchup for Clarke Schmidt.
Sticking in the AL West, the Mariners will be in Anaheim to battle the Angels. The Mariners draw a tough assignment going against Shohei Ohtani, but they may be able to draw a couple of walks against him.
