Hello and welcome to a Tuesday night from Chicago as the White Sox try to avoid history. So, the Texas Rangers and Chicago White Sox play at 8:10 pm. Texas has fallen more than ten games under .500 while Chicago is close to losing 120+ games. However, can one throw the records out the window when these two teams go at it? Rangers vs White Sox bets get it on with a surprisingly good pitching matchup.
It is time to dive into this tile before another game gets our attention for this Tuesday night.
Rangers vs White Sox bets end our MLB month of August at Vegas Betting. The 2024 MLB season keeps tossing out the lifelines. The better part over the weekend was going against the New York Mets bullpen on Sunday and getting rewarded for it.
Texas is 4-6 in their past 10 games while Chicago is only 2-8. Just imagine being the team that helps the White Sox be their ultimate futility. Now, that would be something. Anyway, Garrett Crochet keeps pitching well for Chicago despite his 6-9 record. Can Texas find a way to score enough runs off of him? There is this feeling that the Rangers can pull this off.
Experts cannot believe Chicago has the slightly better pitching edge here. However, Heaney pitched great versus Pittsburgh and got unlucky versus Minnesota. Do not forget that our Las Vegas news and betting picks look to the road squad. There are some Tuesday night picks which may surprise a few people.
Yes, the Bovada Vegas online Sportsbook review tilts toward the road team by reflex here. If Chicago’s bullpen was a little better, this game would have been a great spot to go towards the White Sox moneyline.
Now, the Rangers vs White Sox bets may pivot to the over on Tuesday. Okay, this rolls in with plenty of risk this Tuesday night. However, look a little closer at the number and this starts to make some sense. Chicago’s Garett Crochet typically only goes around three or four innings per start. His pitch count is typically limited. Andrew Heaney has the same problem for Texas. He usually goes a maximum of 5 innings or so.
So, the Rangers and White Sox are not exactly known for scoring runs. However, if there was a time to see 9 or 10 runs, it might be Tuesday night. Chicago allows an average of 5.3 runs per game. Texas, on the road, gives up more than 4.6 runs a contest.
Expect this game to have more intensity than usual. The Over of 8.5 runs has slid to around EVEN for Tuesday night’s tilt. That could change especially once bettors realize neither starter is truly all that durable here. The only concern is what if both pitchers go say five innings. Now, this could change things. However, asking both bullpens to keep the runs off the board in the warm, summer weather is a tough ask.
Furthermore, expect Texas to flex some offensive muscle for the first time in a long time. It feels like forever since the Rangers scored 5+ runs in consecutive games.
Yes, do we decide to spread it out with the Texas Rangers anyway?. The Rangers vs White Sox bets attempt to side with the 1.5-run spread while bypassing that pesky moneyline. At -150, this is not ideal at all. Yes, the plan is to go for the two-run or more victory.
Okay, so that works out to a 65-70 cent difference on the dollar. That is pretty sizable even with how poorly Chicago has played this season. Again, some sportsbooks are sliding to the +110 to +115 range. Others are staying in the +120 to +125 window. It will be interesting to see which books shift and do not shift. This is one of those games not to live bet by the way.
Props for innings and such could be fun too. One of the neater plays is the Yes Run First Inning (YRFI) at a tidy -105. Also, the No Run First Inning (NRFI) rolls in at -120. No one seems to like the latter in this game. More and more seem to trends to some early runs crossing the plate on Tuesday, A few other props caught our eye as well. One of the key wagers may be the Over 5.5 runs with Texas at +150.
Therefore, choosing the Texas Rangers to win by 2+ runs is our pick. We lucked into this number and we did only because of the market not fully correcting itself. Sometimes that is a funny yet true reality. For Texas, a playoff spot has sailed by. However, a chance to rack up a few wins never hurts here.
MLB Vegas Online Betting Sites enjoy this week. Aside from the long holiday weekend coming, there are quite a few good games to keep an eye on. The Atlanta and Minnesota series is something to take a look. Also, the Orioles and Dodgers square off from Chavez Ravine and there is the Mets and Diamondbacks too.
Finally, good luck and hopefully all the winners are yours!
