Rangers are 1-3 on their recent road trip but have stellar lefty Martin Perez (1.56 ERA) on the mound to turn things around. He has pitched 20 innings, giving up only 3 runs, in his last three starts. With just 1 HR allowed this season, he has also been very good on the road. He faces White Sox right-hander Giolito. Giolito has double the ERA and has given up more hits and homeruns that is desirable this season. The White Sox aren’t a strong home team this year, even as a favorite. Neither team had been particularly strong on offense although the Rangers have the edge for power lately. Both pens have also been ok lately.

The difference on Saturday will be the superior performance of Perez. I expect a longer and more stingy outing when compared to Giolito. The Rangers are underdogs, but I believe they will steal this one. Rangers to win outright!
