Rangers (25-25) VS White Sox (15-35)

23 May 2025 | 7:40 PM ET | Guaranteed Rate Field, Chicago

Chicago White Sox
Moneyline Pick - Texas Rangers (-190): A-

The Rangers enter this matchup riding a run of four straight losses, while the White Sox continue to struggle this season, sharing the bottom of the American League with the Orioles. Texas gets the benefit of a reliable starter and a well-rested bullpen, giving them a clear advantage against a Chicago team still searching for offensive consistency and hampered by defensive woes. Even if the White Sox get a solid outing from their starter, the lack of run support and poor home performance make it hard to trust them in this spot.

Honestly, the Rangers look like a strong play here despite the heavy price. With their offense rolling and Chicago’s issues piling up, backing Texas to keep the streak going feels like the right call—hence the A- confidence grade for the visitors in this one.

Over/Under Pick - Over 8, (-115): B+

The Rangers and White Sox both come into this game looking to snap recent losing streaks, and the pitching matchup points to a game with plenty of offense. With both teams dealing with thin pitching staffs and neither bullpen ranking among the league’s best, the conditions are set for runs to pile up—especially with a breeze that tends to boost home runs in this park. Texas has managed to keep their run production steady, while Chicago’s lineup is starting to get some key bats back, making for a recipe that favours offense over a low-scoring pitcher's duel.

Honestly, with how these teams have been playing and the way the weather is shaping up, the over looks like the best angle. If you’re hunting for value, expecting both teams to put up some runs makes a lot of sense in this one.

Spread Pick - Chicago White Sox, +1.5 (-110): B-

The White Sox come into this matchup riding another bad season, while the Rangers are still trying to snap out of a recent skid and remain shorthanded due to injuries. Chicago’s offense is limited by some key absences, but recent matchups and a quietly solid bullpen at home suggest they can keep things close. Meanwhile, Texas has struggled to produce runs lately, and their recent form makes it difficult to trust them to pull away on the road.

Honestly, given how both teams have been playing, taking the White Sox with a 1.5 runs cushion feels like the smarter move here. It’s not the flashiest play, but with how tight these games have been, it’s a solid value bet—even if the confidence level isn’t sky-high.
