Texas Rangers have advantage over struggling Chicago White Sox in upcoming matchup

The Chicago White Sox have faced challenges in their recent performance, losing six out of their last eight games. On the other hand, the Texas Rangers have lost six out of their last 10 games but have shown strength in their hitting abilities. The upcoming matchup gives Texas an advantage as they will be facing Martin, who has had difficulties on the mound in his recent appearances, particularly at home where he allowed nine runs in his last three starts. Chicago's weaker bullpen, ranked eighth-lowest in the league, may struggle to contain the Rangers' offense. Additionally, Chicago's struggles against left-handed pitchers may inhibit their offensive performance against Corbin, who has demonstrated effectiveness on the mound by only allowing eight runs in his last three starts. With Corbin likely to stifle Chicago's offense, it is advisable to consider wagering on Texas with the money line.
