Texas Rangers vs Chicago White Sox Analysis
The Texas Rangers host the Chicago White Sox Friday night in the second game of a four game set. The home team took Thursday night’s game 3-2, and tonight it’ll be a battle of right-handers as Dylan Cease takes the bump for the south-siders and Glenn Otto gets the start for Texas. First pitch is scheduled for 8:05 EDT / 5:05 PDT.
With all the injuries and controversy that’s plagued the White Sox, they’re still in the playoff hunt and only 3.0 games behind Tampa Bay for the final wild card spot. It seems like if this team could just stay healthy for most of the rest of the season, they could make the postseason.
This is Dylan Cease’s fourth and best year in the majors, as he’s posted a 2.01 ERA with a 1.17 WHIP in 21 starts in 116.2 innings with 161 strikeouts. With these numbers, the right-hander is in the conversation for the AL Cy Young award.
