Texas wishes they were playing at home in this game, but that is not the case. One thing that the Rangers can be thankful for is the fact that they are playing the White Sox in this game, but even then the White Sox are an improved team this year and not the pushover they were last season. That is going to make this game very interesting as these two teams are evenly matched.

The White Sox are putting Cease on the mound and he has not really been that good of a shut down pitcher for the White Sox, but his opposite number Lynn has not done much either of shutting down the opponents that much this year. However, facing the White Sox hitters Lynn will have a decent chance of winning the game and being competitive in the game. Final Score, Texas Rangers win 6-4.
