White Sox vs. Rangers Prediction and Odds for Friday, August 5 (Glenn Otto To Disappoint For Rangers)
The White Sox and Rangers continue their four-game set today from Arlington, Texas.
Chicago is not only fighting for a playoff spot, but also is still in play to win the AL Central. With the division still in reach, the White Sox have a little more wiggle room, but need to get all the easy wins they can.
Today will be a good opportunity for Chicago to put another “W” on the board. Can they do it against the Rangers?

White Sox vs. Rangers Prediction and Odds
With Glenn Otto on the mound, this is the White Sox' game to win. Otto is giving up 3.2 runs over his last 5 starts and has also given up four home runs in that span as. Otto has only gone over 5.2 innings once in the past month. If he can’t find a way to have an efficient start, Chicago should jump out to an early lead.
The White Sox are just outside the top 10 in OPS and hits over the last 15 days. Otto is going to give Chicago a chance to start fast. It’s just up to the White Sox to take it – and I think they will.
Pick: White Sox -1.5 (+115)
