The Chicago White Sox and Texas Rangers finish off their three-game set with the Rangers going for the sweep. The Sox will send Touki Toussaint to the mound to face off against newly acquired Max Scherzer. The Sox are winding down a disappointing season by trading away five pitchers and their second-best power-hitter at the deadline. Chicago is just 5-12 since the All-Star Break. Touki Toussaint is 1-3 this season with a 3.50 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in five starts and 9 appearances. The Sox are 24th in runs scored. The Rangers are in a battle with Houston for the AL West lead and both added a pitcher from the Mets for the stretch drive. The Rangers have taken the first two games from the Sox but are just 4-7 over their last 11. Scherzer is 9-4 this season with a 4.01 ERA and 1.19 WHIP. The Rangers are ranked first in runs scored and team batting average. Scherzer has not been overpowering this season but should have no problem against the Sox offense. Even if he does let up a couple of runs, the Rangers' offense should be able to tee off against Toussaint and the rest of the Sox staff. These are games the Rangers can't lose if they are going to take the AL West.
