Take away Martin Perez's starts and the Rangers aren't very good. Minus Perez, they would be seven games under .500.

But Perez is not starting here. Glenn Otto is. He has a 4.24 ERA. That ERA goes up to 4.76 if you factor his seven career road starts. The Rangers' bullpen is highly unreliable. 

Texas is 2-6 in its last eight games. The White Sox are 4-8 in their last 12, but their last nine games have come against the Dodgers, Rays and Blue Jays. Now the White Sox are stepping down in class. 

This will be White Sox rookie Davis Martin's third big league start. He's backed by a strong bullpen. Martin has given up just a single during his last four innings. 

The Rangers have not fared well in Chicago losing six of its last seven road games to the White Sox.
