MLB Betting Trends

Chicago

The White Sox have lost eight of their last 10 following a loss and they have dropped Rodon’s last six road starts.

Texas

The Rangers have won six of their last seven against AL Central opponents. They also have won five of their last six home games against a left-handed starter.

Prediction:

The Rangers are in a nice upswing, hitting the ball pretty well while pitching respectable as well. Rodon has good numbers through limited starts, but I don’t see Chicago being able to carry a lot of good play on the road. They have been a mess away from home all year and I think Texas should continue to play well.

 

The Pick: Texas Rangers -120
